The power goes from the brake light switch to the turn signal switch then to the lights. The third brake light circuit bypasses the turn signal switch. You would need to check for voltage on the light green wire between the brake switch and the turn signal switch, then on the wires going to the lights to see if the turn signal switch is faulty.
Sounds like either your wiring from the Light switch is bad or the Light switch itself is bad. Check with your Owners manual to see if the "Parking lights" have a separate fuse.
Your tail and License plate lights would light with either the Headlights or the "Parking" light selected at the switch as would the front parking lights. If all lights except the headlights are out, your problem is closer to the light switch than at the mounting points of each Parking light or License plate light.
This is one case where you will not know if a dead wire off of the switch is dead because of a bad switch or a bad wire. You would have to detach the harness at the switch, test the wire bundle or jump the switch with power to see how it distributes power through the Harness. It will take a lot of time to rule out the switch. It may be cheaper to replace the switch and then work from there.
does the 3rd brake light in the back window work? check fuses if fuses are OK and the hazard lights work, then the turn signal switch may be bad. I dont know what your sons suburban (trailer?)has to do with your navigator?
If there are no brake lights period the check the stop switch (brake light switch)
This is attached to the upper part of the brake pedal itself. Should be a little wire off of it. When that goes bad the brake lights will not work at all.
Please note that the fuse for "brakes" is ABS only and has no bearing on the brake lights themselves working.
Replace both lights at the back of your car. The fact that you have steady non-flashing lights at the front and no lights at the back is a troubleshooting tool to let you know the back lights are bad.
inspect all of the sockets that the bulbs plug into. you may have a short in some of them. they can get hot and melt the plastic sockets. causing the bulbs not to work. or try replacing the wiring harness for all the rear lights. i found one in the junkyard for my cougar. and it works fine now, good luck
check your hazard switch if its activated your brake or turn lights won't work.
try depressing it while checking your lights, turning it on then back off. this could be the problem
