Chevy Lumina 1995 blubs changed, fuse good, taillight switch changed, need to know where the ground wires at?
Or whatelse I can do here that I didn't do already?
Help break lights doesnt work after all that change is done?
When push on the break the lights on both side don't work but the middle does and same thing when I turn the head lights on.
Brake switch is been changed twice since the brake light problem.

sounds like you have a bad turn signal switch. the brake lights go through the turn signal switch so they can be canceled when you turn on a signal. the third break light doenst go through the switch. so you need to look at the harness going into the sterring colum and should be a white wire from the brake light switch into the colum and the green and yellow coming out, if you do not have a signal for the brake lights coming out on the yellow and green wires then you have found the problem. dont quote me on the wire colors but deffinatly check this area, there is a plug right there that you can do the checking, hope this helps

sounds like the connections at your tailights are no good, if the fuses keep blowing then I think you have a ground wire that is shorting them out. Otherwise I would change the boots that the bulbs sit in and check for worn out wires.

its a ground a quick test is ground a piece of wire touch it to bulb holder with some one holding the brake down, if it comes on you know all it is a ground. easy fix .. also are you dash lights out if so change the fuse ..

You have junk wires chica, probably not wise to do yourself.. Messing w/ the electrical stuff can get tricky... Go to Meineke have them check your switch and your fuse box again.. Tell them the problem, chances are they'll find out, and fix for you.. If it's your wires its a cheap fix .....

Honey,
Listen to my story first...
I had a neighbour who got a new car and was just trying out driving it, and each morning he needs me to come guide him as he drive out of his garage, but unfortunately i have to travel for a few days and as this may disturb his movement out of his garage i decided to give him a lecture on reversing his car....;
I told him that each time the car enters the reverse gear the reverse light comes on and he is then ready to drive out....
The next morning he called his gardener to watch out for him as he drives out; with the instructions that as soon as the lights come on he should bark at him to drive out.....
John entered the car that was parked in gear one ; pressed down the clutch and break and pressed hard on the accelerator to warm the car..... at once the house help screamed the lights are on come on.........
John not thinking any further released the clutch .... and BAANNGG the car went forward and smarched on the inner wall of the garage.....
How ignorant the two of them were......
just ba laugh..... wish you can get to a specialist within your area; goodluck

sounds like you have some bad wires, possibly some water damage.
