Re: break lights
Check the brake switch that gets actuated by the brake pedal. COuld also be a stalk switch problem, but I don't remember enough about how the Honda lighting circuits are configured (how the lights in the taillight assembly are wired) to be able to predict.
Are you seeing any problems with the radio, dash lights, gauges, anything like that? There are various subcircuits that tap off the main circuits, and corrosion at those tap points can sometimes be a problem. Nissan was really bad for that on some models, they used a spade connector that would corrode and cause all kinds of problems. I spent a few hours scratching my head a troubleshooting a girl's Maxima, finally tracked it down and fixed it with some steel wool in 2 or 3 minutes, and I've heard of lots of other people having similar problems.. Stupid design.
I fixed the thread title. It was killing me.

Re: brake lights
i think in the bundle of wires that come off the brake pedal, haven't really gotten a chance to look at it hard due to work and paramedic school :\
