Help...no brake lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For some reason I have no brake lights. I have 4 ways and turn signals, changed the bulbs and followed the wiring the whole way back to the cab with no problems. Where does the wiring go once it gets into the dash? Anyone have this problem before? Thanks, Dave

Check the plug on the brake pedal, also the wires on the plug.

sounds like the brake light switche went south, problem could also be in the column as it uses the same circuit as the turn sigs and that's where everything is split up....if the switch checks out OK, I'd pull the wheel off and make sure all the connections are good and check for power with a test light.

I replaced the switch and tighened the harness (horseshoe) under the wheel and now they work, I don't know what one fixed it but I appreciate it just the same. Thanks again.
