Unhappy When I apply the brakes, the lights don't come on

My rear lights work fine when I turn them on. No problem.

But when I apply the brakes they dont come on.

They worked fine a few days ago.

What could be wrong? Could this be a fuse issue?

You haven't checked fuses yet? If not, I'd start there.

possibly the stop lamp switch has failed. If the fuse is good check to see if you have 12v at the switch, and test for continuity to check switch operation.
