Q: My brake lights don't turn on when I hit the brakes. What is wrong and how much to fix this problem?
My brake lights do not turn on when I hit the brakes. I have had the bulbs replaced about three times in 4-5 months, so I don't think that's the problem. My turning signals work fine and so do the head lights. It may be an electrical issue and I'm afraid repair will be expensive.
Thank you in advance for your help!
