    Default 96 civic brake light

    hey i got a 96 civic. the brake lights dont come on when i am braking. Turn signals work and the tailights are on but brake lights dont come on. Im not sure if its a bulb, or the wire. Where should i look for it? Bulb or Wire?

    check the bulbs, if the bulbs are out then go buy new ones. its 1157 bulbs. if its not the bulbs replace both wires. if its neither check your fuse.

    you look under to where the pedal is and if you move the pedal you should see where the switch is its like a button where the pedal almost pivots off of it you should be able to see it clearly
