    Brake lights dont brighten

    ok so this is whats going on... my brake lights work but when I step on the brakes, they dont brighten. Whats the problem here? I checked all the fuses, connections, even the switch fuse thing near the brake pedal. I even tried replacing that... and NOTHING. I also noticed my trunk light doesnt work. ALL bulbs are good. Any help??? Please? This crap is annoying me because im concerned someone will bapp me from behind. Especially at night. Im lookin for a DIY then if not possible pay honda money they dont need lol.

      might be tail light sensor or check the plug for corotion in the inside of each plug and the cennetors check them for moiser or corrotion

      my trunk light doesnt work ether but all my brake lights work in alldata they have a problem with the trunk lights moisture getting in side and also them burning up and catching on fire i put a new bulbs in there and i have to fiddle with it to work and also check the thrid brake lights connector switch those come looselike they dot want to snap in

        I have the same problem...as u probably read...


        If you checked the fuses and bulbs...then the contact points are messed up...corrosion from 13+ years...

        try sanding the contact point down if it has crust buildup...


        Good luck!

          Yes... does that matter??? But it worked fine for a long time. Hmmm..... possible moisture.... it ISSSSSS gutted and i see wet shit on the spot where the seats used to be. So if theres corrosion sand it?

              check to see if the relay attached to your lights themselves(little brown box on the back side of your lights) is wet. mine got wet and shorted out. i was goning crazy trying to figure out what the hell the problem was. check that if they are shorted they are cheap at the junk yard and real easy to fix. gl

                cool well i ckecked those out they look fine but if they DID get wet it prolly dried out by now. It is possible since i gutted the trunk out. Haha i however do have extras of those brown box thingys in my 90-91 tails. Thanks MAHN! Ill give it a shot.
