    I had the same problem. I first changed the bulbs and then the switch. Still don't work. How do I get into the steering wheel column to check the contacts?

Ground for tail light comes from turn signal switch under the air bag(GM GENIUS DESIGN!!) and the ground from high mount brake light behind rear wind shield comes from brake light switch under brake pedal,easy fix would be stick bunch paper or something under turn signal handle and tape it so it won't comes off,but in long run you have to change the turn signal switch

1997 Chevy Lumina REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DONT WORK

This will either be a fuse or the brake light switch which is on the pedal it's self. More likely the switch as these are fickle at best.

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.

The ground wire in the trunk area, coming from the brake light harness, might have come off or really loose. Hope this will get your lights working again. Best wishes.
