How do I get break light to wor when break is applied

Check your fuses and bulbs, just because the brake lights work does not mean your tail lights do, $15 you can replace them all at auto zone

If it is just your antilock break light that is on brakes will wor but without the convenience of ABS. The abs light may be on de to issues with wheel speed sensors/wheel bearings, problems with the ABS unit itself. You should have the system diagnose by a professional.

Apply the parking brake with the vehicle parked, engine turned off and transmission in Park. Release the parking brake completely, then apply it again, and ensure that it is fully released. Turn the ignition on, check to see if the Parking brake warning light is on. If it is NOT on, apply the parking brake and check to see if the warning light comes on. If the light come ON wihen the Parking brake is applied,.....fully release the parking brake and check if the warning light goes OFF. If it does NOT go off, then an adjustment is needed at the parking brake switch.

replace the horn

Sounds like you have a bad/defective brake light switch. When you apply brakes, the brake applies pressure to a switch like what is on your dryer or refrig. When it is pressed it turns on the brake lights. It is most likely defective mainly on the bottom lights and getting close to going completely out since your top still works. The mechanism inside the switch has broke or brken contact wires.

you may have a bad ground where the ground wire attaches to the body. its a black wire and the connector is just below the trunk latch on the inside.

Hi , if you had any repair or job done to your car recently I would suggest to check the wiring for loose earth cable.

Hi,

Often brake lights and signal lights not working indicates a loose grounding of the rear electrical assembly. Other indicators would be dim and/or all the lights light up (but dimly) when engaging the breaks or activating any of the turn indicators. A way to verify this is to hardwire another/external grounding wire to any of the metal receptacles of the bulbs straight to a bare metal/chassis of the vehicle.

Of course the standard procedure of checking the fuses, the harness connectors and the wire harness themselves still apply.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
