    Default All 3 brake lights not working!

    Hello,

    All three of my brake lights are not working but my horn and tail lights are.
    Can anyone help me out?

    My car is an automatic 2004 Mazda 3 GT Sport.

    According to the posts I found on this site, the brake lights are tied in with the same fuse as the horn...but the horn still works. Is there another fuse I should be checking?

    What are the chances of all of them going at the same time?

    1394724.1826:1. I looked it up.

    The chance is pretty high but it's an easy check so might as well do it and the fuses first.

    +1. First rule of troubleshooting: always check the simple things first, even if they are unlikely.

    And since the horn works, and you have an automatic and you can shift the car into gear, that means it isn't the fuse and it isn't the brake light switch (which also feeds the shift-lock relay). So if the problem isn't the bulbs... you've got issues with your wiring....
