What about the front right turn signal, does it work when the rear doesn't? My guess is, it doesn't work either? The lower brake lites and turn signals may use the same bulb filament, but, not at the same time and are wired through the turn signal switch. Have you tried a new bulb, Is the bulb socket ok? You may need to check turn signal switch and wiring. If there is an air-bag in your steering wheel, you need to be careful, you don't want it to blow up in your face. Safety is your responsibility.
could be brake light switch but i would be more inclined to think the signal switch is bad, the brake light circuit goes from the pedal to to the turn signal switch then to the taillights
brake lights won't work, but the center does ??? u need to change your turn signal switch which is in the steering wheel. i changed mine and it worked great .....
If the third brake light works and the regular ones don't, it is most likely a bad turn signal (multifunction) switch. The switch is able to kill the brakes lights to run the turn signals, and in rare circumstances does this. I've seen it several times. It could also be wiring, especially near the turn signal switch, but it is usually the switch.
It's unlikely the turn signal switch. Try disconnecting the switch mounted directly above the brake pedal. If the light turns off the problem is in the brake switch. They commonly go bad and can be picked up at a gm dealer for about $15.
Maybe a solution. Are you sure that its because your using your turn signal? Does this occur while moving or while sitting idle?
My car engine would turn off while sitting idle at a traffic light. Many people turn their signals on while idle instead of before they get to the light or stop sign. There is a problem with the engine getting too hot while stopped and then turning off. Make sure you're put your signal on before stopping and see if that makes a difference. If it keeps turning off while just sitting it may be the engine.
However this might be something different and if so that very weird.
