Rear Brake Light Question

I just put in my second pair of aftermarket rear tail lights. And come to find out about a week later my brake lights don't work, but the third brake light still does. I went down to autozone picked up some new bulbs and nothing. I checked some fuses, however I could have missed the one I needed

So I just need some help figuring out what it is. What other fuses should I check? I also was searching around and it said the brake light switch could be bad. But that wouldn't make sense with the third brake light still working.

So Please, just tell me what other fuses to check, and any other help I could get.

Thanks, Nate

check to make sure you didn't pinch any wires when you were putting the lights back in. This could cause a short and start a fire. Check it out!!!!

Yea. I looked at all the wiring and it all looks in good condition. No bends, Snags anything like that. I even tryed to push the wires back in the connector to see if I had a bad fitting.

When I get some time, probably tomorrow, I'm going to take a testor out there and check to see if I'm even getting any voltage to the bulb.

Please if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks, Nate

Ok. I just went out there... and it's the lights that the hazards are on... and they do work...the wierd thing is I've never replaced these lights so I'm going to asume there OEM. Are these sposed to be dual filiment?. I bought 3156LL to replace one to see if the bulbs were burnt out.

The third brake light is still the only brake light that comes on, but the hazards work, but no brake lights.
