Brake Lights Not Working The driver side, spoiler, and passenger side brake lights are not working. The bulbs are all fine and I haven't done any recent work to the car (other than drive it around).
Blinkers, headlights, and hazzards work fine.
Any ideas what to check? Where are the grounds? Are there any brake light fuses to check?
Thanks.

have you put in new bulbs? check the connection in the bulb make sure the socket connecter isnt melted or boogered up. there is a fuse but it is for all brake lights and I beleive your backlights in your dash gauges...
If the rear turn signals/hazards work, then check the brake switch mounted to the top of the brake pedal. (Remove the lower IP panel to access.)
There is a plunger in the switch that is pressed in when you are not pressing the pedal. When you release the pedal, the plunger comes out and activates the switch.
