I have a 93 chevy K1500 an the driver side brake light only works when the right turn signal is on? The red running lights work but when u hit the brake the light doesnt come on. the wires are good an ground is good any answer please need help!!!!!! Thank you Tyler
If you are very sure the wires are good, then you need to replace the multifunction switch in the steering column. Be sure you have checked the wire harness for bare spots or a broken wire first. Hope this helps.
You need to remove the steering wheel. This requires a puller which is about $35 or$40 and don't let anyone tell you that you don't need it. With the wheel off there is a spring loaded plate that has to come out. There is a snap ring holding it in place. You can get a tool to compress this and remove the ring. I use a pice of bromsticck and press down on the plate with my shoulder. this leaves my hands free to remove the ring. Let up on the plate easy when you have the ring off. It's a heavy spring.
At a shop you should be looking at about 2 hours labour. Where I live labour is $65 an hour at a corner garage. I'm not sure on the price for the part but a quick call to any dealer will get you a price.
Unless you have a regular garage that you go to and trust call around before you take it anywhere. This repair isn't rocket science for a garage and any more than 2 or 2.5 hours of labor is too much. There also shouldn't be any need for other parts unless they break them.

Could you take out a bulb and with a testlight/probe check that you do in fact have power to that circuit .Also check that they are the correct bulb for that application I have seen people put indicator bulbs in where therse supposed to be a double filament bulb.Does the base of the bulbs lead contacts line up with the two steel terminals inside the plug?

change the brake light switch ,or rewire the whole lot to europeon standard where its all seperate.Stupid american idea where the brake light is used as the indicator as well.Had a few like this to import and had to rewire the whole rear back lights as their is some fancy brake light switch on these cars with a whole lot of wires .i just cut the whole bunch and rewired the lot as our regulations do not permit this type of concoction.best of british with it though as although its not difficult to do its amazing how many so called mechanics run when they more than two wires

why not just replace the turn signal switch must faster and safer . buy one from your local parts house then you can see its not that easy to install but you can do it with a little help

I had this problem, and to be honest, it happened to the left side about a week later...it's the board that the bulbs plug into...it's a very common problem with this model. So popular that you can normally get the socket board off the shelf at a parts store! it's extremely simple to replace, and I replaced all the bulbs at the same time!
