'89 Accord Brake Light
 

While back there was someone who had a rear outer brake lamp failure
that wasn't the bulb. What was the final fix? I just had the one on my
son's car develop the problem. bob

Re: '89 Accord Brake Light
 

Most Accords have a warning system for burned out brake bulbs. Some
model years have one control module for each side, other model years
have both control circuits in one module. Current to each brake light
passes through the module(s), so if there is an open circuit in the
module, the light for that side will not work. The control modules are
usually located somewhere in the trunk area.

The outer and inner bulbs on each side are connected together, so if
your outer left is dead but the inner left is working, the control
module most likely is not the one to blame.
