No Brake Lights....

All of my brake lights do not work...I checked fuses and the bulbs...what gives? I noticed it when I was changing the bulb on the front driver's side marker lamp...Are the two connected in any way?

last week my tail lights and marker lamps both went out. i had to replace a fuse. it was in the interior fuse box, the fourth one from the bottom of the left column of fuses. i barely noticed that the fuse was broken. it would really help if you used a test light. i hope that helps.

I checked the fuse (Stop Light) and its fine. I think I may need to take it to the dealer. Also, now my power lock button locks all doors but the driver's...what gives?

The switch is located under the dash, follow the brake pedal and you will see a small peg that moves out whenever you press the brake pedal down... thats the switch. To take it off theres a nut where the peg is at and on the opposite side there is a plug. Its only like $8 at autozone

Big thanx to Ant....It was the brake light switch. Replaced it in about 10 minutes. I would have never guessed it was that. I took a bunch of pictures, do I smell a write up?
