1. Check Brake Fluid Level:
- Low brake fluid can trigger the brake lamp light. Open the hood and check the brake fluid reservoir. If the fluid is low, add DOT 3 brake fluid up to the "MAX" mark.
2. Inspect Brake Lights:
- Turn on the headlights and step on the brake pedal. Check if both brake lights are illuminating. If one or both lights are not working, replace the faulty bulbs.
3. Check Brake Light Switch:
- The brake light switch is located near the brake pedal. Disconnect the electrical connector and inspect for corrosion or damage. If the switch is faulty, replace it.
4. Check Wiring:
- Inspect the wiring harness for any damage, cuts, or loose connections related to the brake lights. Repair or replace any damaged wires.
5. Check Fuse:
- There is a fuse labeled "Brake" or "Stop" in the fuse box. Open the fuse box (usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment) and check if the fuse is blown. Replace it with a new fuse if necessary.
6. Check Brake Pedal Switch (Optional):
- Some Accord models have a brake pedal switch. If your Accord has one, check its condition and replace it if necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need professional assistance from a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem. It could be an electrical issue or a problem with the brake light circuit that requires further testing and repair.
