Re: IML: 61 Brake Lights, I am stumped

You should have lights when you connect the two wires. If not, there 
may be a blown fuse, but fuses don't blow for no reason. Are there 
trailer light hook ups in the trunk or behid the rear bumper? Sometimes 
these are poorly done and short out. If not, check for problems with 
what you can see first, then you'll need to check the wiring diagrams 
and follow the wires. Replace the switch anyway. Once you find the real 
problem you still will be stumped if they don't work due to a bad 
switch.

Subject: IML: 61 Brake Lights, I am stumped



I went to get my inspection sticker and found out I don't have brake 
lights. I have power to the brake light switch. I tried eliminating the 
switch and connected the switch leads, still no brake lights. I know 
the bulbs are good because I have turn signals and running lights and 
all the fillaments are good and light. I cleaned the sockets and ground 
path in taillights. I tried wiggling the turn signal switch while 
applying the brakes to see if the switch was going bad but that didn't 
change anything. I am stumped and don't know where else to look, any 
suggestion are welcome as I am at my wits end.
