Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The fuse is good, the bulbs are good and I’ve replaced the brake light switch.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2002 996 cab. Just recently all three brakes lights stopped working. The fuse is good, the bulbs are good and I’ve replaced the brake light switch. Any other ideas on where to look?

POST 2Original post

Check for voltage at those three spots you mentioned - brake light switch, fuse, bulb holder and then develop a theory based on those findings.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, had power to switch and the replacement switch was an OEM apart from a P dealer. Wife noticed lights would come on for a second then go out. First thought was a loose connection somewhere but happened repeatedly when just exercising the switch. So thought was a bad switch again. Installed another switch and the lights are working fine! Much better than trying to find a wiring issue.
