My brake lights are not working. The tail lights work but when ever I step on the brakes the brake light doesn't come on.
First ensure the bulbs are fine.
Check and replace the fuse in your fuse box.
If it keeps blowing after replacing the brake lights fuse, then there is a short on the wires, you need to check wiring.
If fuse is ok and there is no brake light check wiring to the lights, there is a broken connection or an open wiring to the brake lights.
Note: brake lights are usually not dependent from tail lights, they have separate wiring.
SOURCE: The brake lights wont work. The brake light over
the break light wire on the lumina runs through the blinker switch or multifunction switch on the colum.. check there as well as at the tail light sockets. on the late 90s gm cars the sockets had a tendancy to rot away... use a test light at the brake light wire in the trunk and have a friend apply the break. if there is power then may have to get new tail lights. or replacement bulbs.
Testimonial: "THANKS FOR THE HELP"
SOURCE: tail lights dont work
Replace the bulbs.
The bulbs will have two seperate elements in it which is why the brake light works.
Take the bulbs out and you will see the seperate elements.
SOURCE: brake light problem
My van did the same thing it was the ground at the socket it had a good ground all the way to the socket but lost it right at the socket.
SOURCE: 96 monte carlo rear window brake light works but
are the bulbs good. do these use the same bulbs for brake/turn signals?. if the high mount light was working, then the brake light switch was good. brake light power goes through the turn signal switch. you will need to get a wiring diagram and verify the power is going in and coming out of turn signal switch.
Turn signal tail lights and BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING
It
can be faulty brake light switch causing the problem or its blown brake light bulb.
First check and confirm brake light lamp is working and that's not
the case.
For turn signal not working it can be faulty turn signal switch or its issue with wiring:----

I have had a problem for awhile with my brake lights at first when I would have my right hand bliker on I would not have a brake light. so I got another wiring harness and put it on, now I don't have any brake lights at all, but have everything else. it is a 1994 chevy pickup.
79 f150 left brake light stopped working replaced the bulb but still not working the right works fine thinking its the wiring but dont know were to look
step on brake pedal,brake lights do not come on.
