Everything is working fine except for the fact that when the taillights are on the brake lights will not work. Any ideas?

Make sure the tail lights housings are grounded & the bed is grounded to the frame. If the wires are crossed the tail lights are real bright & you can't see the turn lights.

Make a concerted effort to make all grounds good on your truck. That way when ever something goes afoul at least you know the grounds are good
start there.

Do the brake lights work when the tail lights are off?
Also, what type of turn signal set-up do you have? The GM set or a non-original-style set?

The tail lights are simply the generic kind you can purchase at Napa as well as the turn signal switch. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
OK, so you do not necessarily have a grounding problem.
What brand of turn-signal mechanism/switch are you using?
How many wires does it have coming out of the switch?
Do you have a set of wiring instructions for signal mechanism/switch?
