When you have your brake pads and rotors changed do they disconnect the brake light?

My tail lights are working but my brake lights are not after having my brakes changed

No, Most cars have a switch on the brake pedal itself. Your switch might have went bad or you could have an electrical problem.

No? That is weird
that lights have nothing to do with the pads and rotor change.



2 things to try.. change bulbs.

if that doesn't help, then it's your stoplight switch, depending on the car, it's attached to the master cylinder or topside of the brake pedal.
Oddly enough, there's really no connection between the brake pads and shoes and the brake lights. The lights simply work off a switch connected to the brake pedal.

Check all of the fuses first, and they're OK, check the switch and associated circuits.
