Brake lights

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

We have power from the pedal switch all the way to the light bulb connection. Replaced the light bulbs of course but still nothing. I've checked the connection beging the bed. And we don't have power. We then Disconnected both light bulbs and now we have power? I'm confused

Re: Brake lights

Many, many of us have experienced rear light problems, and most have solved them by improving grounding. On my truck:
- wire from bucket to sheetmetal
- wire from frame to bed
- wire from cab to frame
- wire from cab to bed

Once I did the above, lights have worked perfectly.

Re: Brake lights

We have ground since the light come on when we turn on the light switch.

Re: Brake lights

Funny, there is a guy on the '47-'59 board having a similar issue. Might be worth your time to read this thread. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=827604
