GMC Envoy 1999 -Brake lights not working (sort of).

GMC Envoy 1999. Have a strange problem. If the brakes are applied, only the passenger side brake light is activated . However, if I also turn on the passenger side turn signal and then apply the brakes, then the driver's side brake light works just fine. Also, not sure if this is normal, but when the turn signal is activated for either direction, only the brake light for the side opposite to the signal turns on.

Bad earth on the bulb holder or the wiring, usually a good clean should sort it out.

theres usually a pressure switch behind the brake pedal, sometimes the plastic hex nut rattles loose and you have to retighten it.

SOURCE: trailer brake controller problem

I found the problem. Talking with a technician from the controller company, we determined that it was a fuse problem. I found that the fuse to the CHMSL was blown.

SOURCE: My turn signals and brake lights are not working.

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

2003 GMC envoy XL...tail lights work but brake lights will not work is it the brake light switch and how can I test it

ST/LP, Fuse 12, 25 Amp - feeds battery positive to brake switch ORN (orange) and out the WHT (white).

Test with a simple automotive incandescent test lamp to ground. Test lamp should light on both sides of the fuse and with contact to the switch ORN and to WHT while brake depressed.

2006 GMC Envoy rear passenger brake light does not work. checked bulb working, checked fuse working what could it be

A few things....there are 2 fuse boxes to check, one in engine compartment, and one under back seat drivers side. 2nd, check and see if your socket is getting power. 3rd, there is a recall for the rear brake lights, so if all else fails, call the dealer with your VIN #.

Where is the brake lightfuse located at on my 2004 envoy xl

There is only one fuse for the brake light, so if the passenger side is working, the fuse is OK. You most likely have a bad bulb, bad bulb socket or a wire issue. The circuit board that all of the rear light are mounted to also has had problems in the past.
BTW - the fuses for the rear light are under the rear seat.

I have a 2005 GMC Envoy. Have tail lites but no brake lites. Third lite on top works whet brakes applied

Since the high mounted brake light works you know that the brake light switch is working. Now you need to check the brake light bulbs in the rear tail light assemblies. The brake lights are separate from the tail light (parking or running lights). There are two screws that hold the rear light assemblies in place.

No brake lights when brakes are applied

First check fuses, them, bulbs and finally, brake peddal switch (generally in back side of brake peddal).
