Where is the fuse for the brake light?

Car brake light fuses are generally located in the engine compartment, while some may be on the side of the driver's seat. The position of the brake light fuse varies depending on the vehicle model. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive lighting: 1. Signal lights: Including turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. 2. Turn signals: Activated when the vehicle is turning, flashing intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Brake lights: These are highly bright and are used to inform the following vehicle that the front vehicle is slowing down or stopping. Improper use of this light can easily lead to rear-end collisions. 4. Night driving lights and width indicator lights: Driving lights, commonly known as headlights, should be used appropriately by switching to low beam during oncoming traffic and promptly returning to high beam afterward to extend visibility and compensate for reduced clarity during oncoming traffic. Changing between high and low beams should be used to signal when passing intersections or overtaking; Width indicator lights, commonly known as parking lights, are used to display the width and length of the vehicle at night.
I've thought about car fuse locations quite a few times. Different car models have different designs, but the brake light fuse is usually concentrated in two places: either tucked behind the interior panel below the steering wheel where there's a small box, or hidden in the square fuse box next to the battery in the front engine compartment. Last week when helping my neighbor check his Corolla, I discovered the brake light fuse was actually lying in the box under the driver's seat with a 'STOP' label. It's best to check the vehicle manual or look directly at the circuit diagram on the fuse box cover - usually marked with a small bulb icon and 'STOP' text. If you really can't find it, there's a crude method: test by pulling fuses one by one, but remember to turn off the power first and keep some 5A replacements handy. Last time I mistakenly removed the wiper fuse and wasted half an hour.
