The brake light coming on signifies a low level of brake fluid in the resevoir.Because it only comes on when you push the pedal it's borderline on level. It needs to be topped up and check under the car for leaks. A leaking line is the most common cause of brake fluid. Have you noticed a change in the feel of the pedal lately? Has it gone spongy or hard? Either are a sign of leaking brake lines. Hope this helps.

The fluid is either low or there is a problem in the abs unit itself. check the fluid first. if it is low, prior to filling it up, you will want to look for the leak before you get into an accident.

S max brake light switch location

That switch should be located at the upper section of the brake peddle arm. If you reach up under the dash, running your hand up the arm the brake peddle is attached to... You will feel a small box with a button. THAT'S IT!!! When you push down on the brake peddle, it pushes that little button on the switch which makes the brakes lights come on. Just for kick though, make sure the brake light fuse is still good, before roll around on your floor board.
Good luck and Happy New Year,
Bill

I parked the car and switched off the lights engine etc. but the rear lights only remain on. How do I get them to switch off?

its hard to tell, but it sounds like maybe your brake light switch is messing up, try hitting the brakes a few times, or get under the dash and manually manipulate/ unplug the switch, this should let you know if its the switch or a more serious problem. hope this helped.

My chevrolet pickup C1500 cheyenne 4.3 l have problem with my brakelight. the bulbs are ok but the lihgts do not goes on when i press my brake.

Depending on the year, assuming that it's between 88 and 98, I'd inspect the plugs on the circuit boards on the tail lights. They often go bad and require the boards to be replaced.

Emergency brake light stays on the dash. is it a troubleshooting light?

It probably indicates that the cable is not being fully retracted when brake is disengaged. Spray as much of cable as possible with WD-40, allow to sit for a few hours, the engage and disengage the brake several times untill it loosens. If this fails the cable may be stretched and needs to be replaced.

Brake lights do not work, all other lights work.

It is a common chevy problem for the circuit board that holds to bulb to fail, are your running lights and signals still working back there as well? If not then you need to replace the boards.
