SOURCE: emergency brake light is on all the time without

check your fluid level on the master brake cylinder resevoir(RH side to the rear of the engine compartment mounted to a large circular metal). When the fluid is low, this light will remain on. If the levels are fine, might be a possible damaged Ebrake switch or air in the system. Hopefully this helps

SOURCE: 2005 Chevy Trailblazer no brake lights, but third

The body mounted brake lights, are on a different fuse than the upper light. Check fuse #12 a 25amp fuse in the fuse block under the hood on
the left fender. The upper light fuse #16 a 10amp fuse in the rear fuse
block, under the left side of the back seat. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 2005 chevy equinox brake lights stay on even after

With the vehicle off unplug electrical connector on master cylinder. If lite is still on your right. You can usually see where this circuit grounds?shorts out.

If lite goes off... Now you have a little bit of a head ache.
For safety reasons double check for leaks. If the system has no leaks you have to back probe that circuit to find that short.

SOURCE: my brake lights are not

Check fuses if you haven't already. They are not all on the same fuse. There may also be an inline fuse. Check your bulbs. Both break lights are on the same circuit. It's possible both blew together.

Trailblazer no brake lights

As in the previous comments the brake switch wire goes to the turn signal switch and the third brake light. Since the 3rd brake light is working, the problem is in the turn signal switch. When the switch is centered, both brake lights have 12v to them. When you make a left or right turn, the switch has to switch connections between the turn signal blinker and the brake light circuit for the appropriate illumination of the proper light sequence. Buy a new turn signal switch and temporary plug it in. You will see the proper operation.

I have a 2005 Chevy Equinox. When I press on the brake, the odometer (and other lights) dim. Let off the brake, lights return to normal. What is it?

make sure the vehicle is charging. that will cause the lights to dim. use a multimeter set to dc volts to test. or could be loose battery posts. does car start ok?

On my 06 chevy equinox the third brake light is loose can it be fixed without buying a new light?

3rd brake lights are usually just held with 1 or 2 screws.if the clip or plastic it screws into is stripped,you can usually find a used part pretty cheap.it may just need to be screwed down.the metal clips may be found at a hardware store.

ABS and Traction Control Light On

Because the brakes were changed, either one of the sensors were broken when removing brakes or it has set a code. Go to your local autoparts store and have them reset the code. See if it comes back on. If it does you will need to look at the ABS sensors on each wheel and replace if damaged
