I have a 2002 honda accord SE sedan. My problem is that I have only brake lights & no taillights. I've gone thru all the fuses twice, even using an ohm meter to insure i wasn't missing anything. I've also changed out all the bulbs & still I get no taillights but brake lights work fine.

If you mean running lights (not brake lights) check fuses first, then bulbs, wiring connection in trunk, light switch. If you mean brake lights, check fuses, brake switch at brake pedal, grounds at lamps, bulbs.
The fuse to check is 20A fuse #42 (brakes & horn) under the hood. Use a test light or multimeter to measure voltage to body ground at both test tabs at the top of the fuse.OR YOU CAN REPLACE THE SWITCH WHICH IS ABOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL,AUTOZONE,20 BUCKS,OR CHECK THAT TAILLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED AND NO CORROSION.
I assume you mean the one on the dash. This is an indicator that there is a problem in your braking system. Make sure it's not low on Brake fluid and have the brake system checked or check it yourself. If your going to check it yourself I recommend the Haynes repair manual on your vehicle as a reference.
Take it to the dealer to fix it for a permanent solution, but there is a quick fix when in a bind...
There is a little key space on the left side of Park, take a screwdriver and open that and then take the screwdriver and touch the pad that is about an inch down in that hole, while touching it, you can put the car into any gear.
It is your celluloid that is sticky, which sometimes happens in hot/muggy weather. You may need that replaced.
Lets start with is this a sedan/coupe or wagon?, does the car have any body damage? Fuse 32 in the underhood fuse box is for the license, parking, sidemarker, and taillights. (The turnsignals and brake lights are on a seperate circuit). There is a short to ground somewhere in the circuit. To narrow it down , if the car was damaged somewhere, look in that area. Aside from that you need to isolate the short by disconnecting connectors in the circuit. If it is a sedan, I have seen damaged wiring in the trunk on the drivers side up where the trunk hindge is. It gets pinched by the trunk hindge. It would be the red/black wire.
Let me know if that helps, Hond Al
Open the door of both sides (driver and passenger) and look for the panel for the fuses. Remove the panel and you will see the fuse box. The information of the fuses is on the panel.
