My brake lights wont turn on when I press the brake. I changed my bulbs and my fuses are still good. Any ideas? I have a 1994 300zx. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a brake switch which gets pushed every time the brake pedal hits it. Yours is probably bad, or the connection is loose.

It should be either attached to the brake pedal assembly or somewhere near it, I haven't actually looked at mine.

Not sure if you fixed it yet but for others with the same problem
There's a relay/ tail light sensor behind the driver side tail light
Remove the cover and it should be towards the left. It's a green box looking thing.
