One brake light was working when i was told that I had a brake light out so I replaced both with SYLVANIA - 7443 Long Life Miniature - Bulb, Ideal for Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Back-Up/Reverse Lights (Contains 2 Bulbs).

The bulbs I replaced were amber and the ones in the package were clear. I don't know if that matters, but after swapping out the brake light bulbs neither brake light worked.

I replaced the driver and passenger side bulbs and the bulb lights up when I put the lights on, but nothing when i push the brake pedal. The third brake light above the window on the tailgate is also not working, but I have not replaced that bulb yet.

My hazards, taillights and turn signals all work fine, but not the brake lights.

I changed the brake pedal switch and bought a Multi Block D Fuselink Fuse (8 Circuit) 32A w Screw for Odyssey ('11-'13) from amazon for the fuse box located next to the battery but I can't figure out how to remove the old one. I removed the screw and tried lifting it out but it doesn't budge and I am afraid I will break it.

I don't know if that is the problem but after reading some threads I thought I would try that, but I can't remove the fuse block.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you checked if the fuse for the stop light is blown? I think it also fuses the horn and hazard light. It is located in the fuse box between engine and battery. Look at the diagram under the cover to find the right fuse.

That’s for the reply!

The hazards and the horn both work. If that’s the case, does that mean the fuse is good?

Amber bulbs are usually for turn signals, the Ody doesn't need amber since the turn signal lens is not clear. Can't remember if the turn signal lens for the '13 is red or yellow.

Hokey-smokes! that's a lot to change out because of a bulb!
Question- do you have a trailer hitch? Sometimes the trailer light controller wonks out and messes with the lights.
