every time i press on the brakes, the tail lights don't indicate im stopping. every light bulb works, i've checked the fuses, grounds and the brake switch. any suggestions?

broken wire or a short, how do you know the bulbs are good if they don't light?

i know the bulbs are good because the emergency lights work and the lights when the headlights are on and when i put the car in reverse. it's just when i step on the brake, the lights don't indicate so, same with my third brake light.

There is a seperate filament for the brake lights, it is totally possible that they are all dead at the same time. do not presume they are good without looking at them.

thanks. I will check the lights bulbs. so if one brake light is not working, will that cause the whole thing not to work?

PRO50SC

No, each bulb is independent. How do you know the b/l switch is good? Do you have power in and power out of it?

where is the brake light switch and how can i test it?

its under the dash on the brake pedal, mine died on me. take it out spray it with wd40 and work it in and out for a couple minutes bring it back to life. haha

actually the real problem was that the lady at the part store gave me the wrong part. Thanks for the help. Now my third brake light is not working.

If you already tested it, why don't you know where it is??


And what part would that be?



Thanks for wasting my time. In the future, don't tell us you've checked something when you haven't!! DEf won't be helping you in the future!!
LOSER!!!
