Brake Lights Not working ML320 2001
 
Got pulled over by the cops saying that the brake lights are not working.
Could somebody post some quick troubleshoot methods? The dealership doesnt have an appointment for a week..

Could it be the brake light switch? Also its @ 52k miles..

Thanks!

Brake lights
 
I don't mean to insult you but from personal experiece, I had a vehicle where all 3 bulbs (both right and left and center) brake lights were burned out. I take pretty good care of my vehicles and many of them have "bulb out" warning lights. Not my 1999 ML430.

I would expect EPS and other lights to be on if your brake switch is faulty.

I took the tail light and saw the bulbs were black and appeared to be burned out. Bought the replacement bulb @ autozone for $5.99 and replaced it. Works great now!
