My turn signals and brake lights no longer are working I checked all the fuses and they are fine. I didnt know if there was some kind of relay located near the fuse box, that may be shot?

There is no relay for the brakes but there is separate flasher for the signals. Your problem is more likely a wiring or switch issue, as these systems use the same bulbs. Check the wiring at the back of the truck. If someone put a trailer connection in there, that might be the problem. If not, the stop light wires go up the steering column to the turn switch and then back down to the lights. I have pasted your wiring diagram below and also instructions for getting to the switch in the steering column. This requires a couple special tools that you may be able to rent or borrow. Sorry this is not good news...

Turn switch access:

  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  • Remove the steering column trim.
  • Remove the horn pad from the steering wheel.
    • Remove the steering wheel and horn collar.
    • Use a suitable puller to remove the steering wheel.
    • With a suitable compressor, compress the preload spring to the lock plate. Compress the spring only enough to remove the snap ring.
    • Use a pick and a small flat blade screwdriver to remove the snap ring.
    • Remove the lock plate, horn contact carrier, and spring.
    • Remove the bolts at the upper steering column support and the upper mounting bracket from the column.
    • Disconnect the turn signal wiring connector.
    • Wrap tape around the wire and connector.
    • Remove the hazard warning knob from the column.
    • Remove the switch retaining screws and remove the switch.

    Why does my turn signal light not work but brake and tail lights work fine

    There are a few possible reasons why your turn signal light is not working while your brake and tail lights are functioning properly:
    1. Blown fuse: The turn signal lights are connected to a different fuse than the brake and tail lights. The fuse for the turn signals may have blown and needs to be replaced.
    2. Turn signal switch: The turn signal switch, located on the steering column, could be malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.
    3. Wiring issue: A wiring issue, such as a broken wire or loose connection, could be preventing power from reaching the turn signal lights.
    4. Flasher relay: The flasher relay is responsible for controlling the turn signal lights. A faulty flasher relay could be preventing the turn signals from working.
    5. Signal/light module: Some cars have a signal/light module that controls the turn signals, this could be faulty and need to be replaced.

    Lower brake lights no longer work on my 2002 chevy tahoe but the 3rd brake light works fine. Checked fuse and bulbs and everything works fine. Just the 2 lower brake lights dont work.

    Most of the time the problem is in the turn signal switch. The third brake light circuit bypasses the turn signals.
    Someone would need to check brake light power in and out of the turn signal switch.

    Turn signal,brake lights not working

    I would check for voltage at the turn signal switch. The brake lights go thru the turn signal switch, except for the high mount light.

    Brake light not work. done all checking blubs is good, replace switch, replace relay, fuse all good. turngal work hazzard light work but no brake light. i bypass on relay it work so i cant leave short...

    the brake light switch powers the wire which goes to the turn signal switch. So I think if the turn signals works, then the turn signal switch is bad. Check for power at the wire going from the brake switch to the turn signal switch. . Since you didnt tell what year or model the truck is, I cant tell you what the wire color is.

    I have a 1995 honda accord and the break lights will not go off i put a new break switch on the car and it didnt work i also checked all the fuses and dont know what it could be

    it could be a turn signal relay that is stuck. do your turn signals work, I know that sounds weird but for american cars the turn signal interrupts the brake light so if ur turn signals are not working properly it might be, also there is probably a brake/hazard relay

    Rear turn signals and brake lights out. Front signals and rear tail lights work fine.

    the brake lights and the rear turn signals should be the same bulb check the bulbs to make sure they are not blown does your third brake light work if all brake light are out and the bulbs are good check the brake light switch on the brake pedal

    Turn Signals & Brake Lights Stopped Working

    Check the flasher and brake light relays. Check relays under hood in electrical box to make sure they are seated properly and not loose.

    Lower brake lights dont work,third light does

    Turn signal switch 95% of t he time. Try to work your hazards, if it stuck at all will also cause this.
