Blown fuse?

My 2004 honda fit had both brake lights and the top brake lights all gonout. Coincidence that they all needed to be replace or i have a blown fuse? If a blown fuse, which fuse is the brakes? I looked at manual and none says brake. Theres a stop/horn, but my horn is still working so that fuse is ok. Help...

Bulbs are cheap. That's a good place to start.

Testing is even better, if bulbs don't fix it.

Stop/horn is the brake light fuse.

Yes.
You can test the fuse if you don't believe it

Got volt meter? Test light?


Manual trans or automatic trans?
If manual, check brake light switch
If automatic trans, the shifter would not come out of park if the brake light switch were bad.

Automatic.. i can still drive the car. Car was hit las year and i took it in for bimper replacemeny. Guess it went out between that time and now. Since i can drive and honk, it seems like not a fuse issue and just happens that all 3 lights need to be replaced. Donyou have a website with isntructions to change the brake light and third beake bulbs?
