More than likely, you need to replace the stoplight switch. It is not a diificult change. Look under the dash directly where the brake pedal comes in contact with the dash when it is not depressed. Press the brake and notice the little contact nipple that pops out. That is the stoplight switch. Replace that, and you are good to go!!!
slightly apply the E brake
Brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit from the tail lights. Tail lights are on the same circuit with the dashboard lights. If the dashboard lights aren't working either, check the fuse. If they ARE working, check the headlight switch.
No brake lights but turn signals work? Turn signal switch brakes route through it.
Turn signals use a relay or 'flasher' which is usually located on or near the column under the dash. Brake lights get their power thru the brake light switch on or near your brake pedal under the dash; check it with a 12v circuit tester.
my 98 suburban did the same thing. when i changed my headlight switch that turns them off and on, they started working again.
I have a chev cavlier 1995 and the running lights do no work---on the dash the green light keeps blinking----what should I do?
we are having back brakes problems
A blown bulb. Check fuses and then start replacing the bulbs one by one.
Answer Usually when the flasher blinks rapidly it's about finished. Try replacing the signal light flasher and see what happens. If you still don't have Brake Lights start looking for a short.
How do you replace brake lights
May possibly be in the multifuction switch on the left of the steering column!!!!
check the brakelight switch. it is located under the dash where the brake pedal rests. Hey its ritchie. If you can click your blinker down and then they work its you blinker switch,but this is my monte.
