check bulbs first ,then unplug brake switch ,if the swith plug has 2 wiring running into it, use a thin wire to bridge the 2 wires of the plug and see if brake lights illuminate ,if they do work by bridging the wires with ignititon on , it is more than likely the switch at fault
The earth connection is simply the chassis ground on the vehicle. "Ground" and "earth" refer to exactly the same thing. Either the light swith is bad ,you have a fuse that looks good but is actually burnt out,or the wire that runs back to the tail lights is broken.
Did you check the fuse? Either the fuse may be out, or the brake light swith on the brake pedal may be out or need adjusting. You should have 12 volts at the brake switch.
To change your brake light on your Car is Done from inside your Trunk, You'll need to open trunk, and on either side there is a cover on the left and right side,That will be removeable.
Just remove the cover with your Hands and it will expose your Wiring to your bulbs and you'll see a metel socket that holds your Light Bulbs, Just turn or Pull that socket out that the Wiring goes to.
Now you can remove your bad bulb and replace it with a new one.
on a Caprice you'll have 2-3 Bulbs in the Lighting assembly just have someone Push down the Brake Pedal. So you can see the Light thats not Working.
This will get your Brake Light Working. Since its only 1- Bulb thats out Eliminates that you have a Bad Brake Light Switch. If both sides are out it could be your brake light swith.
