Although both signal lights and stop lights are within the same lens, they operate on different wiring. The bulb will usually have two filaments, one for stop and one for signal. If the brake lights are not working, the problem is probably a blown fuse or a faulty break light switch.
turn signals work butt the brake lights dont can anyone help please? cant afford a mechanic.
It is your multifunction switch that has gone out. It is located in the steering column. I used my emergency lights and it blew out brake lights, turn signals, and emergency lights. In newer models Chevy did a recall not so for our older models. Mine is a 1995.
I always start with the basics.......fuses. Then go to bulbs...... Look in your fuse panel and see if you have one marked tail lights......and check it. the brake, headlights and signals work off another circuit.
The 1996 GMC Sierra DRL module is located underneath the dash panel on the driverside between the pakingy brake pedal and the brake pedal.
Yes. I have found the schematic in the back of most "Haynes" manuals.
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.
First thing I'd check would be the fuse for the stop lights. If it is okay the next thing I'd check would be the stoplight switch located under the dash where the brake pedal is suspended.
First check the brake light fuse, if good, then test the brake light switch.
Located at the upper end of the brake pedal almost under the dash
I have a 1996 Grand Marquis. If one of the brake lights goes out the signal on that side flashes faster. I would check the brake/tail lamps.
yes they are supposed to be on, it is the daytime running lights
yes, they do
