However, there are still a few things to consider:
* Are *all* brake lights working? Check both the brake lights and the center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL, also called the third brake light). A single failed bulb could still leave you with functional hazards.
* Do the brake lights only work when the brakes are pressed, and the hazards only work when the hazard switch is activated? This is the expected behavior. If the brake lights are also coming on with the hazards, or vice-versa, you have a wiring issue.
* How bright are the lights? Dim lights could indicate a failing bulb or a problem with the charging system.
* Recent work? Any recent electrical work on the vehicle could have inadvertently caused a problem.
If you've checked all the above and everything seems fine, then you're likely in good shape. However, if you have any doubts or notice anything unusual, it's always best to have a mechanic check it out to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Proper functioning brake lights are crucial for safety.
