If blinkers and turn signals work, just replace brake switch, it's mounted on steering column right below dash and above brake pedal
Could be the brake lamp switch is bad , stop lamp fuse 20 amp in under hood fuse box could be blown .Check the fuse ,if not blown check for B+ voltage at the brake switch , location - top of brake pedal under the dash . Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? Looking at a wiring diagram so you know which wires to test would be good too . Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Free ones here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. Year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click exterior lighting . Click the search button then the blue link. first diagram top left you will see the stop lamp switch . orange wire in is B+ voltage . Press the brake pedal while checking for B+ coming out on the white wire . No B+ coming out ,replace the switch . Will be other wires as well , other switch etc... check the right one .

SOURCE: No brake lights, or no signal lights
brake lights and turn signals work off the same curcit, it could be the fuse or the brake light switch !!!!!!
SOURCE: No dashboard lights or tail lights but I got Blinkers and brakes
most like u have a blown fuse most of the time in cars they connect the tail light and instrament lights to 1 fuse
SOURCE: 1989 chevy 1/2 ton.brake lights or emergency
The Blinkers and the Brake Lights are the same bulb. So check the brake light switch. Flashers use a different flasher unit, than the turn signals

Hi, you could have a bad ground, at the rear of the truck, or a bulb, with a crossed filiment, causing the issue. Make sure there is no corrosion at the sockets, and both rear bulbs are visibly in tact. Then make sure the ground is good at both sides. Make sure the circuit boards are good, The actual socket board, as these can corrode internally, and finally, if you have a trailer plug, make sure this is not corroded, or shorting. I feel your issue lies in one of these areas. Good luck...Coop
