91 Honda Civic Hatchback DX brake lights not working!?

OK. so. I have a 91 Civic DX hatchback. The tail lights come on when the headlights are turned on. Good.....but when I press the brakes, the lights dont change. when the high-beams are on, all the tail lights except the one in the spoiler come on. Still no brake lights. its not the bulbs, and its not a fuse. (under dash at least I have yet to check under the hood) HELP ME!!!!! how do I fix this?91 Honda Civic Hatchback DX brake lights not working!?Find a good flashlight, and slide your driver's seat back. The switch for the brake lights is under the dash, mounted near your brake pedal assembly.



When you are not touching the brake pedal, the brake pedal assembly should be pressing on the switch. The peddle frame should leave the switch when you push the brake.



You have to find the switch, often very simple to do, sometimes they are hidden by all kinds of stuff. See if you can remove it, it needs to be tested with a continuity tester. Many hobbyist's have them and will be glad to check it for you. The switch is not expensive.
