If you replaced a brake light bulb it may be the wrong bulb causing a back feed from the brake lights to the running lights

Lights dim

Was any of the brake light bulbs changed recently, the wrong type of bulb may be used causing a short in the socket, and making the rest of the brake and signal circuit malfunction. I no bulbs were recently replaced, start with checking for corrosion in each bulb socket, signal and brake bulb sockets. Let us know what you find

Dash lights out Taillights out (Round 1157 bulbs all cars)

Common problem or complaint, Dash lights out or rear running lights not working. Most common problem for this is the round bulb for the brake and running lights flatten out over time and touch each other inside the bulb holder normally the ends should look like nn but when flattened out look like this _ _ and end up touching and shorting out, replace both bulbs. And on GM cars front running lights can cause the same thing so always check all four running light bulbs(Front and Rear). If it has the turn signal and running lights on the same socket always check this first. G.M. had built into it's wiring system a fail safe that if one running light went out the dash lights will not come on, this is so that you don't get a ticket for a running light or brake light out.

1986 dodge 3/4 four wheel no brake lights have turn signals running lights power to the switch and new bulbs

Turn signal and brake lights operate from a different switch. The brake light switch is under the dash behind the brake pedal. Look under the dash and follow the brake pedal up until you see a switch which the pedal operates. Normally a white plastic switch with two wires. Disconnect the two wires and touch them together. If brake lights come on replace the switch. If not use a 12 volt test light to see if there is current to one of the wires. If not, check for a blown fuse. This should solve your problem. If not, contact me for further information,

My honda accord 2001 is having brake light issues. 3 of the 4 "lower" brake lights will not work and the dash board light is on. The trunk lid lights are working fine. When I put the bulbs from...

Some bulbs are dual function and others are single function. You may be installing the wrong type bulbs in the sockets. Look in the sockets and see if there are two contacts at the base, or a single contact. You can look at the base of the bulbs and see if they have two solder connectors or a single on. Sounds like you need to recheck all your brake sockets to be sure.

Hello, i have a 1997 subaru outback sport wagon and the brake lights do not work. the running tailights work. where do i start if its not the bulbs?

Check fuses and then try the brake light switch on the pedal... it should look like below:

You can unplug the switch and close the circuit of the wiring harness with a little pigtail of scrap wire and if the brake lights then work it's the switch.

best wishes!

My break lights don't work

have you checked for blown fuse under dash in fuse panel? if so, are brake light bulbs blown ? if not, check on brake pedal for bad brake light switch, it will be above the brake pedal on the arm assembly, look for a black switch that has wires running to it, it may only need adjustment. it has a plunger type switch, when it moves the brake lights come on, when it closes the circuit, the lights go off..hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com!!

Dash lights come on when I press the brake peddle

Sounds as if your getting a back feed. Most likely from the brake light bulbs (part number 1157). Take out the brake light bulbs and see if the dash lights still come on when you step on the brakes. If so check the lead contacts on bulbs, sometimes they get squished/corroded and jump both contacts, replace bulbs with new and recheck. Hope this helps.

1990 Volvo DL Sedan Brake Lites Work but Also Come on With Running Lites

Is there a switch on the left side of the dash that has a red lens and a wavy line across it? If so, you have a rear fog light switch and it has been activated, causing your brake lights to come on each time you turn your headlights on. Flip the switch and the rear lights should display only the parking lights with the headlights on.
