My brake lights are only working if I have the turn signhals on.

With either turn signal on, the opposing brake light lights up when the pedal is depressed. Both signals work, but without one side signaling, I get no brake lights.

Checked all the obvious, the flasher, it's good - the brake switch, it's good. I'm pretty sure I have connection or my signals wouldn't work.

I'm thinking it may be the switch in the steering column as they both run through there.

Any thoughts?

It's more then likely the switch itself.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

You mean the brake light switch?

I have hot on both sides of it when I hold the pedal down.

No. Sorry I meant the turn switch.

In case anyone might run into a similar deal in the future, it was the signal switch in the column.
