my running lights work but my brake lights don't?

Question

on my 92 buick le sabre my head lights work dash lights work one blinker light workes and my running lights work yet none of the brake lights work on it....what could be the problem?

Answer 1

I recommend checking the brake light switch. It is usually near the brake pedal. When you step on the pedal, you close the switch to illuminate the brake lights. If the brake lights don't work, frequently it is the switch itself, not the lights.

Of course, do a fuse check to make sure you haven't blown a fuse.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Either the brake light fuse, or the switch that activates the brake lights. Either of these are a cheap fix. Just make sure to do it real soon!

Answer 3

Brake light bulbs have two filaments. The brighter filament is for when the brake lights go on, and it usually burns out first. Replace the tail light bulbs (and one turn signal bulb while you're at it).

Answer 4

brake light switch. Costs about $10 and is easy to change, less than an hour

Answer 5

all these lamps are on different circuits,check for power at the brake pedal switch for the lamps.it will have it on 1 wire when the pedal is up then pass through when it is pushed

Answer 6

Check your fuze and if that is still good then check the brake light switch
