If the lights are going off and the car dies at the same time it sounds like a bad ground. Check your battery post terminals. Make sure they are tight. Also check where the ground wire from the battery mounts to the engine. Check the positive cable at the starter. Make sure it's tight.
check your fuses, your owners manual will tell you the location of the fuse.
Check fuses
Bad brake light switch, it's on top of the brake pedal under the dash.
probbly the fuse box....
how do you take the dash board outon a 2006 chev Malibu
To take off the das in 2006 Chevy Malibu you need to take both the IP and end panels off by unclipping them on place. After that, remove the 7mm bolts that hold the driver knee bolster in place.
yes they have brake lights and you probably have a bad brake light switch which is on top of the brake pedal under the dash.
I have a 1991 Chevy surburan and it has no tail lights and no dash lights, all fuses are good
An open ground or a short to ground when the signal is on. Usually a bad bulb.
2000 Malibu has one on left dash fuse box and one on right end of dash panel.
since 1996 to presant, you need a code scanner. auto zone will scan for free.
There is a switch for that. It is in the dash illumination brightness control switch.
