No LH/RH Brake Lights

I have a 2013 Kia Forte EX that is having problems. When I depress the brake pedal, neither the left nor right brake lights come on. The center brake light functions, as do all the lights when the headlights are on. Everything else is purely incidental. Every fuse is fine.

seeking assistance.

I would start by checking the brake light switch.

The brake light issue in a Kia Forte EX can be identified by checking the fuse, inspecting the brake light switch, and checking the wiring harness. If the fuse is faulty, replace it. If the switch is faulty, check the wiring harness and look for frayed wires, loose connections, or signs of damage. Address burn marks on bulb sockets and consider switching to LED bulbs for less heat and reduced socket damage. Test the bulbs and replace if damaged or burnt out. These steps systematically help identify the root cause of the brake light issue. If further assistance is needed, don’t hesitate to ask.
