2001 Silverado, when I push the brake, the right brakelight doesn't come on but, the left front turnsignal and dash indicator come on (not flashing)

  • Anonymous Jan 26, 2010

    I have replaced bulbs, fuses, flasher and rear bussing block.There is no power at the wire going into the buss. Turn signals all work fine even with the brakes on.

Try replacing all the bulbs in the brake/stop and tail lights. then it will work ok. Unless there's a broken ground wire.

Bleed brakes

First, make sure there are no leaks in the system. Have a partner to pump brakes about 5 times holding down on the last pump locate the bleeder screw (10mm) on the left front brake caliber. Loosen the screw and fluid and air should be expelled. The brake pedal should go down as partner pushes to the floor have him,her hold until you tighten. Repeat on same screw until just fluid comes out. Repeat same process on left rear, then right rear, then right front. Needs to be in that order.

Have a Chevy Corsica 1996. Blinkers not working right. When I step on brake the arrow on instrument panel for the right blinker lights up. When use left blinker, both flash like the flashers are on. ...

It sounds like a bad light socket. The brake light and the parking/running/regular part of the socket are shorting out. When you press on the brake petal it's shorting out on the turn signal and sending current to the indicator (arrow) on the dash.. When you use the blinker, it's shorting with the brake light and causing them both to flash...

Check the socket and get back to me with the result.

1988 ford thunderbird brake lights and turn signals not working

When this happens the problem is most likely the multi-funtion switch aka turn signal switch. Check to see if the 3rd brakelight comes on when the brake pedal is pushed. If so replace the MFS. The 3rd brakelight in late 80's fords bypasses the turnsignal switch.
