I have no brake lights. I found a 20 amp fuse

Could be the brake lamp switch is bad , stop lamp fuse 20 amp in under hood fuse box could be blown .Check the fuse ,if not blown check for B+ voltage at the brake switch , location - top of brake pedal under the dash . Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Looking at a wiring diagram so you know which wires to test would be good too . Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Free ones here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click exterior lighting . Click the search button then the blue link. first diagram top left you will see the stop lamp switch . orange wire in is B+ voltage . Press the brake pedal while checking for B+ coming out on the white wire . No B+ coming out ,replace the switch . Will be other wires as well , other switch etc... check the right one .

CIG lighter usually 15 amp brake lights about 20 amp sounds like all fuse problem. Check owners manual for fuse number

check for any blown bulb or fuse

If you cant find pic online (neither could I) try pulling each fuse out individually and looking at it... check this pic if you don't know how to visually inspect a fuse. Replace blown fuses with ones of the same amp value.. i.e. 15 w/ a 15, and 20 w/ a 20. You may lose the time in your dash or reset radio station presets by doing it this way, but its better than not having wipers or brake lights

Check the fuse, the fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search for the required, fuse it should be around 20 amps.

The Park Lamps and Instrument Panel illumination lamps are controlled by the lighting control module. The problem could be either the headlamp switch or the Lighting control module. Most likely, the head lamp switch.
The most likely cause of the brake lamps not working would be a failed Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch. It could also be caused by the multifunction switch. To find out if it is the BPP, check for power at the BPP switch. One terminal has a Light Green and Red (LG/R) wire and the other has a Plain Light Green (LT GN) wire. The LG/R wire should be hot at all times. The LT GN wire should be hot only when the pedal is pressed down.

If there is no power at all, there is probably a blown fuse at fuse #10 (20 Amp) in the Central Junction Box (CJB) located uder the left side of the dash. If this fuse is blown, you have a short circuit between the CJB and the BPP switch.

If there is power only on the LG/R wire even with the pedal pressed, then replace the BPP switch.

If there is power on both sides of the BPP then check fuses #20 (7.5 Amp) and #22 (20 Amp) also locatedin the CJB.

If fuse #20 is blown, you have a short between the BPP and the Lighting Control Module. If fuse #22 is blown, you could have a short anywhere from the BPP through the Multifunction Switch all the way back to the brake lamps themselves.

The Brake lamps, Turn Signals, and Park Lamps all share the same ground, so if the Turn Signals are working, it is not likely a ground problem.

Please also review this article: Where's The Fuse?

Fuse 12 (10 Amps) may be burned out. Its located in "Junction Block". Losing
fuse 12 would kill the ABS systems and light the ABS dashboard light.

Fuse 11 (20 Amps) may be out. Its located in "Power Distribution Center". Losing fuse 11
would kill the brake lights, and light the ABS dashboard light. If fuse 11 is blown,
check your (3) brake light sockets for shorts of any type, or fuse 11 will just blow again.

Here's your ABS Indicator Light wiring diagram:

"my daughters 1998 vw cabrio has a top that won\'t go up or down. i need to find the fuse for it. i know it\'s not the motor or hydrylics i have already checked those out. so that leaves the button or the fuse... but i don\'t have a diagram for the fuse box. Please help. "
