i checked the fuses.etc. everything seems good, my brake lights do work when i press on the brakes, it's just at night when i turn on my lights, my brake lights won't come on, they only come on when i press on the brakes even when i turn on my lights. any suggestions? the car is a s13.

You might have a short in the headlight switch, that shorts when the parking light section of the headlight swtich is turned and it might be killing the brake lights somehow.
or......bulbs. Lol

what was wrong??

lets see first off the bulbs were blown, and then i replaced that it still didn't work, so i checked the fuse, it was blown so i replaced it but it still didn't work so i was like wtf. then i checked the ground because the wiring system was all messed up in the brake system so i had to redo everything, and got a good ground and it was working good.
