My main brake lights work intermittently when depressing the brake pedal. I remover the brake light switch from its housing and reconnected the wires to see if they would work, my third break light works when depressing the switch but my main brakes do not. I s my switch bad or is there another problem?
I would replace the pedal switch..cheaper way to go

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH.ASSUMING THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT BULB IS GOOD.U SHOULD CHECK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON THE BEAKE PEDAL.SHOULD BE POWER GOING IN & POWER OUT WHEN U ARE IN THE BRAKE

Yes! It is a faulty turn signal assembly. You can try actuating the hazards several times, to try cleaning the contacts but if there is no change then replace it. In case you want to know, the wires from the brake switch, go up into the turn-signal assembly then out to the tail-lights. To fix it, disconnect the battery, you will need some tools. A steering wheel puller, a steering shaft compression tool, 1/2" drive ratchet, metric sockets, cir-clip pliers, a couple of small picks, #2 philips head screwdriver, and some torque-head screwdrivers. carefully pull off the horn cover( may have a couple of scews holding it from the other side), unplug the horn wire (push and twist), remove the cir-clip, remove the nut, mark the area where the steering wheel and shaft meet (use white-out), press off the steering wheel, Compess the shaft, remove the retaining clip(with the picks), remove horn spinner base, remove turn-signal assembly. I need to step back alittle bit, the plug, to the turn-signal, is half-way down the steering column, to unplug it you need to remove the lower dash panel, the bolts holding the column up inplace. The plug is in clear sight but the wiring harness is inside a plastic sheath, you'll see what I'm talking about.

you may have a ABS problem. I would drive it and attemp to skid the tires an dsee if the pump activates. sometimes this will unstick any valves inside the ABS unit. you may need to have a qualified repair shop check deeper. the ABS will have a code, and a scanner will be needed to check further.

I have the same problem with my brake lights and Im replacing the turn signal switch... Got it straight from the dealer for about 150, found one used for 100. I'll let you know if replaceing the turn signal switch is the right fix.

Try having someone push on brake pedal at the same time thay move the turn signal lever up and down slightly to see if your brake lights work this would tell me that you have a faulty turn signal switch because GM runs the brake lights thru the turn signal switch so they work if you are driving with your 4way flashers on.
Hope this helps. contact me if you need more help please give me a rating if you would.
