Hey, Guys I've been having an issue with no break lights since I did my SR swap and never really bother with it until about 2 days ago. I've read through a couple of threads about no break light issue and a lot seem to have been caused by the break switch at the pedal so I thought I went a head and replace that ,but it's not fixed now I'm lost.


So here's the situation I have the kouki Tailights and wired them up correctly , the hazard light works my left and right turn signal works and my actual tail light works when I turn the nob at the steering wheel. However I do not get that bright break light to come on when I step on the break pedal , before I thought about replacing the switch I unpluged the old one and tried to jump the red/yel and the green/red wire to see if it would light up, but it didn't I had a muti meter and the damn thing died before I could get any kind of readings on it.

both 15A fuse on the driver side are good , I just don't know wtf is going on or where to track this wiring , does it go through the radio part of the car by any chance? I got an FSM but I'm not very good with these , but I'm trying til then does any one here have any experience with this one??

Alright brake , and yea I checked it.. it appears to be okay nothing burnt up or anything I checked the ground at the hatch also, and it was good.

if one of the filaments is burned out, the bulb itself wont be burned just the little filament wont be connected

I went back out to check just to make sure and all the bulbs appear to be okay on all 4 of them , but who knows I'mma go get some new battery for my mutimeter and see if I get anything on the brake light portion of the harness back at the hatch.

and yea all the filaments were intact

Anything else on your mind let me know

Check fuse, or relay.
