SOURCE: No rear brake light / turn signals on 2001 Chevy Cavalier

The problem is the turn signal/headlight/hazard switch assembly on the steering column which the brake light wiring runs through. The part is easy to change and cost about $50 at most parts stores

SOURCE: Tail lights don't work on 1998 Chevy Silverado.

check the wiring from the tailights back to the fuse panel, it sounds like an open connection. if i recall correctly check under the dash on the drivers side near the fuse panel for a bunch of wires in a bundle and look carefully for a wire or two that are cut/shorted/or seperated, you can also check under the drivers side kick panel by the hood release.

SOURCE: 2004 Chevrolet Aveo Brake lights not working

A couple of days ago my brake lights on my 2004 Chevy Aveo wouldn't work, so I attempted to remove the lamp covers to check the bulbs. Also, before this my shifter would get stuck in park and could only be released by pressing the unlock gadget next to the shifter. Back to the brakes...Well, you open the trunk and remove the two screws just like the manual said, but it was very hard to pull off. There's 2 prongs holding the other half of the light on. The lamp will come loose by prying it (very hard). You think the cover will break, but it'll come loose. The bulbs were all OK.

After much frustration and internet info, the STOP LAMP SWITCH, GM#96436331 ($9.30 at Chevy dealer), which is located under the dash and has contact with the brake pedal, was defective. Once replaced, both my brake lights AND SHIFTING problems were cured. So if the brake lights suddenly don't work or you have problems getting the vehicle out of park, check the switch by pushing the prong (end that has contact with brake) of the switch in and out. If it doesn't retract smoothly...that's the PROBLEM. Good Luck.

SOURCE: 99 Chevy Tahoe... Rear turn signals, brake lights, and hazards

I had this problem, and to be honest, it happened to the left side about a week later...it's the board that the bulbs plug into...it's a very common problem with this model. So popular that you can normally get the socket board off the shelf at a parts store! it's extremely simple to replace, and I replaced all the bulbs at the same time!

Does anyone know where the tail light circuit board is located on a 2001 Chevy Tahoe LS

The tail light assembly contains the circuit boards on each side. Driver side and passenger side each have their own circuit boards when you remove the tail light assembly.

2005 kia sedona dash board gauge lights wont turn on

Is it only the gauges or the all the instruments and heater controls? The first place I'd look at will be the dimmer switch. Normally the instrument lighting shares the same circuit as the parking/valet lights.

2004 speedometer instrument cluster lights

If any lights come on the dash that can be adjusted by the dimmer switch then it may not be the fuse. and replacing would be the next option.

Dash lights aren't working

I would check the fuse box and locate the fuse to that circuit.

Speedometer

Sounds like a wiring problem. The speedo is powered on the same circuit as the gauges, and the instrument lights are on the circuit with the tail lights but with a different fuse. So you are actually talking about 3 different circuits.

How to replace dash light bulbs

I've done this before. You have to remove the cover for the gauges and speedometer, which is on a sort of a circuit board. The whole thing comes out in one piece, or did on the car I was working on. Then you just locate the burned out bulb, go buy a replacement, replace it and you're good to go, It's easier than you might think.

1995 Honda dashboard will not illuminated, all other lighs works. I also check the dimmer knob to make sure it was turn up. Is it hard to replace the light bulb in the dash. Does anyone have a diagram...

The dash board has many light bulbs and the gear shift and the window switch all work on this circuirt. The radio if its stock turns up and down on this circuit too. The running lights are relaed to this circuit too as the runnings lights go out the dash does too. ( It's a DOT thang ) Lets you know that your running without tailights! But the dash can go out by it's self and aftermarket radios and their installers are the culprit. The dash light wire is in the stock radio harness and their used as ground wires and left to touch ground and blow the fuse. The fuse is called gaugesand it's a 5 amp or 7.5 amp. It's in the dash board fuse box behind the change holder that your left knee might hit if it were to hit the dash. If all the lights in the heater control and the gauges and the gearshift and the power window switch are all not working look for a blown fuse and it's cause. ( radio wireing ) or the running lights are out too and a bad marker light frunt or rear running lights. the park fuse may be blown and cause this and the dash lights won't work either. The dash dimmer switch can and does fail. It pops out by prying it out the frount theres 3 wires on it one is ground. one comes on with the lights and the other is the one going to all those light bulbs I just talked about. With the lights on one wire will be hot ( use a test light to check) A cheap one at the parts store or wally world only costs a few dollars at the most. If two wires are hot its on and it's godd one of these two will brighten and dim as you turn the switch. if only one wire is hot and the others stay cold the one that is hot jumpered to the one thats not black (ground) will make the lights work. Your right you could have bad bulbs but theres at least 15 of them and whats the liklyhood of blowing all of them at once ( doesn't happen unless theres a real bad problem involving crashes and jump starting. The cluster comes out by removeing the covers and then the speedometer cluster itself. If any of the lights work that the dimmer controls work and the gauges are't lit then this is the direction your going.

1991 Chevy Blazer dashboard lights are burned out. Can't read

Your dash needs to come out. These bulbs push into a plastic piece that "twists" into the back of the dash board. (About a 1/4 turn) Unless you can get at them from underneath, but I think it's to tight.
