    Could anyone help me in this situation? The running lights will come on however the brake lights will not work. Due to the fact that I cant read Japanese. Im not sure if it is a fuse problem or not. I looked at all of the fuses and they all looked good and the bulbs look good as well. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    Brakes lights are pretty simple. Essentially the circuit always has power and the switch is open until the pedal goes down. I don't know if the switch is pressure or mechanical but probably mechanical - that's a guess. You need to get in there with a circuit tester and see if there is power to one of those leads on the switch, and if the switch closes when the pedal is applied.

    After that it is all wire and bulbs.
