2 out of 3 brake lights not working.

Thank you for any help as it is greatly appreciated. I noticed yesterday after someone told me that lights were not working properly. I have a 2006 4 door honda civic. Believe it is an lx model. The small light in the back works still by the back window but the bottom ones do not work. The reverse, signal for turning, alarm lights also still work. I have checked the fuses and the they seem to be in working order i believ it was 15,12 under the hood and my horn still works as i heard that they are on the same fuse. Confused why two do not work while the upper one still works. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated

You didn't replace the 2 bad light bulbs yet?

Didnt think it was the bulb, do both of tgem typically go out at the same time?

....and the 3rd will likely soon follow.

Those Stanley bulbs are well made.

Aren't they exactly the same age?


They may have gone out at vastly different times.....but you FOUND them not working at exactly the same time.



Headlights often go out at about the same time. I had a pair go out within 30 minutes of each other on one car of mine.
