My 1997 rodeo brake lights won't work

is engine running?
if yes>?
got ABS?
1: charge system failure.
2: brake failed or fluid low, or other brake failure. (up to 4 on light)
3: the blower in the dash is dead? in all modes, heat and A/C?
do tell.?
does the blower work in High.
did all this happen in 1 day, or a year, or just bought this sick car/?

check fuses yet?
blower fuse.

check the coil, as it sounds like that may be the problem

Theres a little switch that activates the light. It could possibly be sticking

First check fuse and finally check and test brale light switch (gemnerally located bask top side brake pedal).

The brake switch will stop all current to the brake lights. As soon as the brake pedal moves just off of its fully up position, the switch makes contact and passes current on to the brake lights. You can operate it by hand to check if everything is right. izzit adjustable? The switch is the last thing in the path to the brake bulbs, so it has to work right, right off the brake pedal!

Are you the original owner ? Did it have an after market radio installed ? If yes, it might of had wiring connected wrong from there.

check for a bad brake light fuse! if not the fuse, the brake light switch operates brake lights and if bad you will not be able to shift it out of park, as well as the brake lights not coming on.! because you have to put foot on brake to do so. if bad switch, it wont let it out of park. it could be just out of adjustment also!! good-day !

do the brake lights come on now with the new brake switch? Why did you replace the brake switch? It sounds like the switch is not being actuated or does not have a good electrical connection. You cannot move the shifter out of park unless the brake switch indicates the brakes are depressed. Whether or not the brake lights are functioning is a good indicator of whether the switch is working or not.

it is called the shift interlock. Yes you can bypass this. Just take it out.
