It all started with the drivers side brake light going out. Then the passengers side went out as well before I could replace the bulb on the drivers side. I was left with just the 3rd brake light. All of the sudden the 3rd light went out - now I have no brake lights. All of the taillights, backup, corner markers and turn signals work. I am just trying to figure out if I am missing something. So far in troubleshooting I have: Checked fuses Replaced all bulbs Replaced the brake switch Tried new circuit boards for both taillight assemblies Tried new turn signal switch Thanks for any and all help in this matter - I look forward to your replies.

You replaced bulbs.... Did you test for power at the sockets first? You replaced the brake light switch ........ Did you test for power in and out of the switch first? You replaced the turn signal switch ......... Did you test for power in and out of the switch first? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
