Rewired mt 53/3600 last Nov. and everything was really good. suddenly my stop lights are not working. Every thing else is good, flashers, turn signels. could it be where the two posts are going to the back or bad sockets. Bulbs look good, but I'll replace them. any ideas out there that might help. Have goten some great help in the past, Bolters are really a bunch of cool people. Paul

first check would be the stop light switch under the floor, wire might have come off, activating arm might have broken, or switch could have quit - an ohm meter would be useful

Depending on how you rewired it there may be a separate fuse for the stop light.

I agree with 'Squeeze'. If you have the hydraulic type brake light switch, look there first. I have read that they are under engineered and don't have the current capabilities that they should. I replaced several before going to a "Lokar's mechanicial type.

Different truck but worth a thought, on my 55, the right rear brake light is wired through the signal light switch in the column. Right rear and it is a white wire.
