There's continuous power supplied to the circuit. When the switch contacts, it closes the circuit and allows the power to go to the brake lights.
Check the brake light fuse. If you have 12 volts at the brake light switch I would suspect the signal light switch is at fault.
Bad switch, bad wiring, ECM fault. If your jake brakes still work, you can rule out the accelerator position switch. The brake position switch might be reading that the brake is depressed when it isn't.
Above the brake pedal. If your main brake lights dont work but your third center brake light does, then the brake light switch is not the problem. Its is the turn signal switch.
The 1996 GMC Yukon brake lights work by receiving power from the brake light relay switch. The brake light relay switch is connected to the brake pedal.
Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal
The brake lights work without the key on, so you have a problem with your brake light switch.
Please check the Brake light switch....The brake light switch should be located near or on the brake pedal (up on the stem of the brake pedal)
Your fuse could be blown, or the brake light switch is improperly adjusted.
check the wires at brake light switch on brake pedal they are bad about breaking brake light switch
The brake lights and the tail lights are separate circuits. Check the brake light fuse, then check the brake light bulbs, then check the brake light switch.
Check the brake light fuse, the bulbs, the brake light switch and last, check the signal switch.
Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal. Might have to replace it.
