97 tahoe blinker problems

My 97 tahoes blinkers stop working when I use the brake. And all the lights in the rear flash (while using the blinkers) when i'm not applying the brake. I've replaced the blinker assembly. What else could it be?

    right remove the back light and look at multiplug connection ,look for black corroded connections ,now one of the wires should lead off to a earthing point somewhere near the light ,but not always,if you cannot find it then look at the colours on the wires leading into the multiplug ,the earth is invariabley a black or a white one and the connection from the multiplug will run through all the bulb connections ,when you find this one splice and and run another wire to a nice earth pòint like a fixing bolt or drill a small hole and use a self tapping screw ,when it works smear the earthing point with some grease to prevent corrosion ,splice into the wire do not cut it because it might earth the number plate lights or something else .Have fun and the best of british with it

Need to locate the EBCM on a 1996 tahoe

Your brake light switch circuit also goes through the BLINKER SWITCH. Did you check that? (Most common culprit in GM vehicles.)

99 chevy tahoe back lights not workin top brake light works no tail lights brake lights or blinkers everything works in the front checked fuses replaced bulbs and stop light switch still nothing

Look where the wiring harness comes through the rear passenger compartment. Theres usually a junction that splits off then goes to the back tail lights, I beleive there is also a ground wire somewhere in the same vicinity. Sounds like theres a short in the harness at that junction or the ground is maybe loose or rusted and not making contact.

98 Chevy Tahoe, drivers side rear tail light assembly wont work, brake / turn signal. Replaced entire assembly, it worked for about 3 days then stopped working again. I need to get this fixed before I get...

I've got the same problem on 98 GMC Sierra.

I'm an electrical engineer, I checked the electrical diagrams and verified that there is no problem in the rear lamp assembly or wiring. With the light assembly unplugged, I can actually watch the blinker and brake signals operate with a voltmeter. The Tail light works OK.

It simply won't provide enough current to light the bulbs.

I'm afraid that it's melted one of a pair of normally closed contacts inside the blinker switch that feed the brake and turn separately on each side.

I had this problem with a 1997 suburban and a 1999 tahoe. I fixed it on the suburban by replasing the complete light assembly, and on the tahoe i just replaced the circuit board were the light bulbs and harness plug in its easy and inexpensive. good luck!
