Why the brake light works and tail light don't work Chevrolet avalanche

SOURCE: 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD tail lights stopped working

I am having the same problem on an 04 2500hd there isa 15 amp stop light fuse inside the cab on the side of the instrument panel and a 25 amp stop light fuse under hood. you could also have a break switch issue the switch is located up on the break pedal linkage you should have power on the white wire when you push the pedal in (check with a test light) in my case I have a broken wire along the frame rail in the harness it is a light blue wire,

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.

You need to remove the 2 bolts that attach the caliper to the mounting bracket (big metal) with an 18mm socket, use a 1/2" drive ratchet to give you some torque. If you are removing the other bolts that just "turn" you are on the wrong bolts, these are the bolts that allow the caliper to slide in and out freely. you should be able to then use a ligth hammer to tap the entire assemble off of the rotor. then replace you pads and rotors if needed. also your parking brake is located inside the drum of the rear rotor. Making adjustments to these can be quite a process but can be done in the driveway. good luck.

There will be an electronic flasher module located under your dash near the steering column (don't know it's exactly location as it varies). It sounds like this unit may be faulty.

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.
