Check the socket for power (with a 12 volt test light probe) to the pin that operates the running light bulb filiment, use the other tailight for a guide or just touch all the pins, one should light the test light up

SOURCE: My turn signals and brake lights are not working.

Does your high mount stop light work? If it doesn't, then it'll be the brake switch located just above your brake pedal.

If the light does work, then it should be the electronic flasher module that will be located under your dash near the steering column. It will be labeled. This controls your signals, but I believe your brake lights are also on the same bulb as your signals, so when this goes, it can affect your brake lights

SOURCE: Brake lights quit working.

if all fuses and bulbs are ok get to the brake switch and see ifits stiff or stuck, if it just has two wires on it you could join themtogether to see if the brake lights come on though obviuosly dont leave them joined.Good luck davelee

theres usually a pressure switch behind the brake pedal, sometimes the plastic hex nut rattles loose and you have to retighten it.

SOURCE: brake lights won't work. tail lights do. I

need to know if your third brake light up high is working or not.if it isn't,you need to check the brake light switch on the brake pedal with a test light,one side hot all the time,the other side should turn hot when brake pedal is pushed.

95 Chevy truck tail lights don't work; everything else- brake, turn, backup & hazard do.I checked fuses in dash, replaced headlamp switch-still won't work.

check the bulbs they are a duel fillament bulb possibly have wrong bulb or one side is burnded out. if I remeber correctly the part No#3157 it should be stamped on base of bulb these should be the 2 top bulbs.the lower reverse light is a single fillament part No#3156 also check the sockets and plugs for a good connecton.
