theres a ensor on top of the brake pedal that needs changin
If your 98 Monte Carlo brake lights do not work when you hit the brakes, but the top one behind the glass works, check the bulbs. If the bulbs have burn out, the lights will cease to work.
slightly apply the E brake
How about a malfunctioning brake light switch
If the fuses and bulbs are okay I would blame the signal switch assembly. They call it a multi-function switch these days.
Could be the brake light switch above the brake pedal.
Defective or misaligned brake light switch.
I would suspect a ground problem. Saying that, check the brake light switch.
check the brake light switch above the brake pedal
If you have no brake lights or tail lights then you've probably got an electrical problem. Check the fuses first and see if you have one or more blown.
Check the bulbs, then the fuse, then the switch at the pedal.
the fuse panel on my 98 is on the left end of the dash. open the door to see it. my brake lights stopped working but did not blow the fuse. had to change the brake switch located on the brake pedal. good luck
I hate to ask , but did you check the bulbs ? The tail light portion may work fine , but the brake lights don't if both of the bulbs are bad .
