-   Had the same problem with no brake lights. Actually, the upper brake light in the back window would work but not the others. Discovered that if I played with the signal lite switch I cud get them to work intermitently. Seems GM has a problem with the switch, the interior workings warp with time and because the "cruise control" is incorporated into the same turn signal switch the brake lights wiring MUST run through the turn signal switch. This is done so that, when you touch the brake pedal, when "cruise" is engaged the electric signal shuts of the cruise control, a safety feature. I had the turnsignal switch replaced, no more problem!!! GM knows this happens but has no recall or warranty fix! It's your dime.-   1stonraceday

-   My lights are now bad enough that it is shutting my car down. I have noticed that there may be a short just over the battery and just behind on the rod that sticks up which is covered with a plastic cover. The plastic cover has now melted. -   silverado1
