95 chevy suburban- brake lights not working (turn signals work and regular lights). checked the bulbs and whatnot- cannot find the problem. someone please help!
There are a couple of types of switches but lets assume you have a more common one. It will be located on the left side of the brake pedal shaft it is black with 4 wires in one connector and a seperate 2 wire connector above the 4 wire connector. The switch is easily removed if it is this style by pulling it down it has 2 clips one at the top and one that slides over the pedal shat the back of the switch has a rased hump tha slides into a recess on the upper pedal support bracket.Grab switch pull down and gently wiggle it if necessary.Remove 4 wire connector and 2 wire connector. Now you are holding the old switch and yor troubles have just started the after market replacement switches really **** get a real gm swich.If you look at the old swich at its bottom you will see a little foot sticking out of the base of the swich once the new swich is installed you must use the little foot to adjust the swich.If you do this wrong you will do dammage to your transmission.The two wires at the top of the swich go to the transmission torque converter clutch.when the brake lights are on the upper swich is off. When brake lights are off the swich will be on.Get new swich installed using this info and get a pro to help you adjust it.It should cost you only 35 bucks to get it set.Dealer shouldnt charge more than 30 bucks for switch.
Good luck and thank you for using Fixya
