ughm kind of car does help. But you could clean your brake light connections. and check the bulbs. Hope that helps

take a multi meter/test light to see if your getting 12v at the switch. tail lights and brake lights are on a different fuse on just about every vehicle as a fail safe for if you blow the more commonly blown fuse (tail light) but yea if its a honda i believe its a green wire with a white tracer at the switch
