Question Where's the brake light fuse?

I looked in the manual and i can't figure out which one is my brake light fuse. All of my tail lights stop working completely and the vsa light and yellow warning light came on. I did research here and i taught it would be the brake light switch but i changed it and my tail lights still don't work.

Under hood fuse box, fuse#13... part of ECM is tied to that fuse as well so if that's burnt out, after replacing, check to see if VSA lights go off on the dash (almost everything ties to ECM through a network)..if not, fuse#17,18 are the VSA modulator fuses, so check those as well.

Goodluck

Thanks, it was fuse #13, It says "Horn Stop" for that fuse, i don't know what that means but i guess it controls the brake lights, bc i changed it and the brake lights work and the vsa light turned off.

I know this is a super old post but it saved my butt today!! VSA light would come on after a few minutes of driving car. That was really the first sign, but didn't sweat it because I thought it was something minor. Randomly went to use horn no dice. Important but still kinda minor. Person on road about a month later told me brake lights were out. Major major issue! I checked. Tail lights worked when I locked and unlocked car… Swapped out brake light switch(twice)… No dice. I looked for the brake light fuse. No dice. Just as I was going to make an appointment for a diagnostic I came across this post. Sure enough the horn fuse was out. After changing that all was well again!!
