08 Dodge Nitro Brake Lights out

briiick · #1 (**permalink**) 01-30-2012, 02:45 AM

No manual to be found. The left brake light went out, went to replaced the bulb and it did not work. Then noticed that BOTH brake lights were not working. Relaced them bot and they both still do not work. The 3rd brake light does work. Anybody able to help me out there? Maybe send me a copy of the applicable wiring diagram and brake switch location and contact break down? Thanks, Brick

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to see you join under these circumstances. Do the tail lamps light? The brake lamps are also tail lamps.
There is a fuse - M1 - Center Brake Light/Brake Switch. Looking at the fuse panel, from the left, second row, top, 15A blue. Maybe this will help. I do not see a listing for separate fuse for brake lights - mine is a 2011.

Hi there.. We are having the same problem with our 2009 (MY08) Dodge Nitro... The top mounted LED lights do work.. both tail lights are out, we have checked the M1 fuse, it is fine... and replaced both globes!!! Any other suggestions??
