1994 GMC Suburban Turn Signal Troubleshooting (check in this order):
· Check Fuse
· Check Bulbs
· Check Flasher Relay
· Check Turn Signal Switch in steering column
· Check switch on brake pedal
· Check license plate light bulb and wiring
· Check all wiring harnesses and wiring for shorts
Most likely its the fuse or a burnt bulb breaking the circuit. See sources and related links below for bulb information. Sometimes the license plate and/or the trailer hitch is wired into other circuits and can cause issues in other areas. Sometimes its wires grounding out somewhere on the vehicle. See sources and related links below for bulb information. See owner's manual for location and identification of fuses.
short circuits in the turn signal and brake light circuits
Low brake fluid in master cylinder? Parking brake not fully released?
Blown bulb/ bad bulb
No brake lights but turn signals work? Turn signal switch brakes route through it.
because there is two filiments in the bulb one for brake and signal light and one for running light
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.

Have you checked the fuses or bulbs?
You probably have a turn signal bulb with two filaments one for the turn signal and one for the brake light. If the ground connection is bad on the turn signal circuit then the current would need to find another path to ground. The only other one available is through the brake light filament to the ground on the center brake light. Try removing the taillight assemblies from the vehicle look for what is probably a black wire screwed to the body or a circuit connection and either tighten the screws a bit or clean the connections.
the brake light wiring often runs through the turn signal switch i would test power going in to the brake light switch on the pedal and power coming out when pedal is depressed if power is ok suspect turn signal or hazard switch
Check bulbs - double filamented with smaller being for brake light and turn signal Bad switch? Bad turn signal flasher?
It could be the ground wire, the brake light switch, a damaged wire or connector or the turn signal switch.
