no brake lights

Post by doc1976 »

okay so I have no brake lights. I do have power to the brake light switch, bypassed the switch......nothing. both rear signals work, the emergency flashers work in the front, but not the rear. the running lights work front and rear. bulbs are good, fuse is good. both emergency flasher indicator lights on the dash work, left signal dash indicator light works, but the right does not. any ideas?

i would say turn signal switch. the right pilot light may be a bad bulb.

:yt: I would say that the Turn Signal Switch (TSS) is bad but check the connector on the column and look at the Red/black striped wire and where it connects through the connector should be a Green/red striped wire, make sure both these wires have power on them when the brakes are applied. If you have power on them then the problem is in the TSS.
