I just replaced wiring harness on my 2005 Chevy 2500 Cargo Van. It seems as though my brake lights should be brighter. Switched bulbs and everything and nothing changes. Can someone figure this out?

Tail light and brake light circuits are switched.

pass to a sturdy motor vehicle factors keep and purchase an electric powered tester with a probe ($10 or much less) Get a pal that may additionally assist you by ability of pressing on the brake pedal jointly as you poke the wires searching for ability. Import vehicles frequently have a separate circuit and bulb for brake lites. The turn sign would be amber. The tail lighting fixtures crimson and the brake lighting fixtures bright crimson. you have fuse out or the incorrect bulbs if there is ability to the brake gentle twine once you press the pedal.

Either the bulbs are in wrong or the wiring at the lights are not right. Two filiment bulbs have a notch and key on one side of the black base and some times can be forced into the socket the wrong way. Or something else like single filiment bulb in a two filiment socket.

The wires to the sockets are wrong. You could fix it just by swapping the tail light and brake light wires at the sockets, but you really need to find out why they're mixed up. They might not be the only thing wrong.

Probably the wires to the stop/tail lamps are switched. If not then the bulbs could be reversed (in 180 degrees out of line).

1157 bulbs are in backwards. they can fit in this way in some cars. Turn them 180 degrees and re-insert them. this should fix the problem

THE BULBS GO IN A CERTAIN WAY, TRY TURNING THEM A HALF TURN AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS.
