On my 86 silverado the turn signals and taillights work but my brake lights don't. They r grounded good and I think it is in brake light switch but what do ya'll think?

Re: Brake Light prob

My guess is that the brake light switch is the problem. I'm only a soon-to-be 73-87 owner, but I've fxied this problem on 57 and 64 Chevies. The brake light switch just needed a little lube and working from sitting. Easy to do.
