There's a switch on the brake pedal arm that controls the brake lights. It may need to be adjusted or replaced.

Changed all fuses in the car checked brake light bulbs there good so why won't my brake lights come on when I brake???

if the bulbs and fuses are okay then it may be the brake switch itself that is either bad or out of adjustment. it is located on back side of brake pedal on top, when brake pedal is pushed it pushes on switch to activate brake lights. have a good day !!

1989 olds cutlass supreme. None of the brake lights work. All other lights work. Fuses are good.

You probably have a bad brake light switch. This switch is located on the brake pedal arm or a bracket next to the arm. This switch activates the brake lights when the pedal is pushed. You can check this by turning on your turn signals or warning flasher if your light flash in the rear. Your bulbs are good so this will bring you back to the brake light switch.

Have a 96 Olds Cutlass Supreme, brake lights will not work. We've replaced bulbs, fuses and brake light switch and still nothing. Help!

Try having someone push on brake pedal at the same time thay move the turn signal lever up and down slightly to see if your brake lights work this would tell me that you have a faulty turn signal switch because GM runs the brake lights thru the turn signal switch so they work if you are driving with your 4way flashers on.

96 cutlass supreme 2 dr. coupe wont release from park also breake lights wont work

the brake light issue is probably causing the shifter not to work because when you press the brake it tells the shift lock system to allow the vehicle to be shifted from park. If there is no power there it won't work and both systems usually work off of the same switch. if you check the fuse panel for a stoplamp or brake fuse it will probably be blown....replace it and your shifter will probably work once again as well.
hope this works for you....good luck!
