I have a 98 f-150. My turn signals work but my brake lights don't what could it be?

 

Burnt bulbs.


GIGO !

 

Does the third light work? Seems unlikely all three would go out at once. Unless there's a short.

 

Fuse??

 

always the best place to start, and i know ive overlooked the fuse before myself.

 

It won't be the bulbs. The brake and turn signals use the same filament. It could be fuse #13 (15A) in the fuse panel under the dash, but if that was the case, a lot more things wouldn't work, the shift-lock actuator being one of them. If the shift-lock works, it's not a fuse or brake switch issue. You'll want to check the LG wire for power when you press the brakes where it enters the multifunction switch on the column.
