Therefore, there's no separate relay to replace. If your brake lights aren't working, the problem likely lies with:
* Brake light switch: This is the most common culprit. It's located near the brake pedal.
* Fuses: Check the fuses related to the brake lights in the under-hood and interior fuse boxes.
* Wiring: Look for damaged or corroded wiring between the BCM, the brake light switch, and the lights themselves.
* Body Control Module (BCM): While less common, a faulty BCM can also cause brake light issues. This requires more advanced diagnostics.
* Brake lights themselves: Check the bulbs for burnout.
Instead of searching for a relay, start by checking the fuse and the brake light switch. If those are good, you'll need a multimeter or professional diagnostic help to further pinpoint the problem within the BCM or wiring.
