Over time, the filament in the bulb can wear out, leading to failure. To fix this, first, ensure your vehicle is turned off and the lights are cool. Locate the brake light compartment, remove the faulty bulb by turning it counterclockwise, and replace it with a new one. This simple replacement is often all that&rsquo;s needed to get the brake light working again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common issue could be a blown fuse. The brake light circuit has a specific fuse, which can blow due to an electrical overload or a short circuit. Check the vehicle&rsquo;s fuse box, usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Refer to the owner&rsquo;s manual to locate the brake light fuse, and replace it if it&rsquo;s blown. This is a quick and easy fix that can restore brake light functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1.jpg\" alt=\"Car parking brake indicator lights\" class=\"wp-image-2044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20640%20427'%3E%3Crect%20width='640'%20height='427'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Car parking brake indicator lights\" class=\"wp-image-2044 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-1-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll find the fuse box under the hood in a black plastic container midway on the right side of the engine bay. Squeeze the clips to remove the lid and locate the 15-amp fuse that controls the brake lights and the horn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spare 15-amp fuse can usually be found on the right side of the fuse box. If you use it, don&rsquo;t forget to replace it as soon as you can, ready for the next time it&rsquo;s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by replacing the fuse and seeing if that solves the problem.

Also, note whether the blinking is regular or intermittent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should you find your Honda CRV brake light blinking, look for a damaged or loose connection or worn brake light switch. Your brake light switch may not be properly adjusted. Check the plunger to ensure that the switch engages fully when the brake lever is fully up (brakes disengaged).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorrectly adjusted switches can cause the light to blink when hitting potholes or bumps in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good idea to check that the rubber grommet on the brake lever is intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the rubber deteriorates and eventually, the grommet falls away. You will not have full contact with the plunger and the lights will either stay on or blink on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The footwell carpeting can become damp, which is often a cause of condensation building up on components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, is worthwhile checking the brake light switch connections. Rust easily builds up inside the plastic housings, causing intermittent connectivity and finally, complete failure of the brake lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda CRV Brake Light On When Cold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3.jpg\" alt=\"Female car driver in car during snowy winter\" class=\"wp-image-2046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Female car driver in car during snowy winter\" class=\"wp-image-2046 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Any time your brake warning light is illuminated on the dashboard, you want to make it a priority check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warning light indicates the possibility of various potential issues that need attention and it should not be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you find a Honda CRV brake light on when cold, check the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir first. If the light goes off when the vehicle is warmed up it indicates a possible brake fluid level change.

You just need sharp eyes to pick up the clues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Honda CRV brake light won&rsquo;t turn off or is stuck on, then check the driver&rsquo;s side footwell. You will probably see small curved pieces of creamy plastic. Check the brake pedal where the brake light switch contacts the lever. If the plastic grommet is missing, replace it to solve the problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent the brake light from draining the battery, remove the 15-amp fuse. Just remember that the fuse also controls the flow of current to the horn, so you will not be able to alert someone in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that your brake lights will not work until you have fixed the problem. So, applying your brakes in traffic will not alert the driver behind you as no red lights are coming on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid a rear-end collision, apply brakes well in advance and reduce speed slowly so that the car behind has enough warning that you are coming to a stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When fitting the new grommet, you must remember to adjust the brake light switch plunger to ensure that the pedal doesn&rsquo;t ride the clutch or that the switch is not too far away from the lever. In which case, the light will stay on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda CRV Brake Light Fuse Keeps Blowing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5.jpg\" alt=\"Car fuse box\" class=\"wp-image-2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car fuse box\" class=\"wp-image-2048 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KMA-Honda-CRV-Brake-Light-Not-Working-5.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Any time a fuse blows, it&rsquo;s an indication that there is a short somewhere in the circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Honda CRV brake light fuse keeps blowing it may be due to the brake light switch, the horn, or a bulb holder.
