How do i fix electrical problem on my gmc?

With out the head lights on brake lights work, signals work on there own as well, try them both, lights feed back through each other. Head lights on,all feed back through parking,signal and brake lights. I have repaired the ground (G104),replaced the tail light junction box and replaced the flasher module. Still have the same problem.

Click on the link.
As you can see, the hi--lo beam on the right side uses one ground. The hi and low beam on the left side use a different ground. If I suspect a ground problem, I use a redundant ground to see if it helps?

SOURCE: no brake/hazard lights,have running/turn signal lights

Suggest you change hazard flasher 'can' first, then go to the hazard switch. I'm betting it's the flasher can.

brake lights and turn signals work off the same curcit, it could be the fuse or the brake light switch !!!!!!

SOURCE: 93 GMC Suburban, No Tail Lights

Check the trailer plug ground first. If in doubt. Ground in another location. Make sure the area is free of rust and the ground is tight.

How can I repair the electrical problem on my truck?

Headlight ground is a common problem. Also, check that the battery ground is sound, if battery ground goes to engine, check that engine strap to frame is also sound.

The turn signals and brake lights are on a different circuit from the parking lights. Did you check to see if you have power coming out of the headlight switch for the parking light circuit ?

98 Chevy Tahoe, drivers side rear tail light assembly wont work, brake / turn signal. Replaced entire assembly, it worked for about 3 days then stopped working again. I need to get this fixed before I get...

I've got the same problem on 98 GMC Sierra.

I'm an electrical engineer, I checked the electrical diagrams and verified that there is no problem in the rear lamp assembly or wiring. With the light assembly unplugged, I can actually watch the blinker and brake signals operate with a voltmeter. The Tail light works OK.

It simply won't provide enough current to light the bulbs.

I'm afraid that it's melted one of a pair of normally closed contacts inside the blinker switch that feed the brake and turn separately on each side.

2000 GMC SIERRA Pickup---- Has been equiped to tow trailer. Brake lights in rear of truck and on cab does not work when brake pedal is depressed. They work though when you throw the lever on electric...

Disconnect the trailer wiring and recheck the vehicle lighting. If it returns to normal, then obviously the trailer is the problem. Quite often the trailer plug loses its independent ground and it will back feed thru other circuits trying to locate one. Especially if its a boat trailer, water intrusion can cause havoc on the grounds due to corrosion. The under hood electrical center has circuits intentionally meant to be used for trailers. You CANNOT just jumper into the rear lights of the truck (tail, signals and brakes coming from the tail light connector). Because it uses a multi-function switch, the brakes and signals are actually the same circuit, and have to be wired separately for a trailer plug to operate.

Does your high mount stop light work? If it doesn't, then it'll be the brake switch located just above your brake pedal.

If the light does work, then it should be the electronic flasher module that will be located under your dash near the steering column. It will be labeled. This controls your signals, but I believe your brake lights are also on the same bulb as your signals, so when this goes, it can affect your brake lights
