Want this question answered?
If the brake lights do not work on Chevy Venture van 2000, try to disconnect the brake switch. Then short the two contacts of the connector to check if the brake lights are now working.
replace the lamp socket they short in a strange way, it happened to me 3x. the socket carbonized from bulb heat
i fixed this problem by replacing the brake light switch that seemed to be working fine otherwise.. in a a fit of rage in frustration i shattered the old one off the pedal and had to buy a new one, magically now my lights work.
my fuse panel (with the descriptions) is gone off of my 2000 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo, how to i get a description of what all 32 fuses control on my jeep?
Check the fuse, check the bulbs and check the brake light switch, in that order.
You need to check the wiring for power to the bulbs.
Bad switch, bad relay, short to ground in the circuit.
check the fuse, brake lights have their own, & check the brake switch at the top of the brake pedal
Check the park lamp relay. It is probably next to the fuse.
Blown fuse or bad headlight switch
You might have a bad brake light switch. If you don't have brake lights the switch is bad. When your brake light switch isn't working it wont send a signal to the shift solenoid.
Check the fuse first, then the brake bulbs. When you press the brake, it senses the brake lights and let's you take it out of park. This happened to me - 2 brake lights burnt at the same time with one already gone, and I couldn't get it in gear. I replaced the bulbs, touched the brake pedal and she went into gear no problem.
