brake lights.

First I got the warning light on, sayind something wrong with the tail lights, so I check them and both of the brake lights on the sides are out. So I pop the cover and both the bulbs are burn, I change bulbs and nothing hapends, I measure the voltage and nothing comes to wires when I press brake. The middle, window brake light works just fine by the way, all the fuses work good as well, please help me locate the problem. Thanks Greg.

check the wiring near the trunk hinge. its a common problem, the wires there get brittle and break after repeated opening and closing of the trunk.

you need to check for output voltage at the brake light switch. check all of the bulbs for good measure. they're not in series, so it wouldnt matter if one were burned out.

Since the high mounted (back window) brake light works, his brake light switch should be fine. He most likely has broken a wire or 2 in the wiring loom located inside the trunk near the driver's side hinge as LE05 suggested.
