Well here is the deal....
Hazards work
Blinkers work
running lights work
3rd brake light works...BUT...

Normal Brake lights will not light up??

Need help ASAP...?

Its a 97 formula M6 w/ 90,000 miles on it!

 

Did you check the switch at the pedal?

 

Yes I did.... The switch @ the pedal normally works the 3rd and the normal brake lights but the normal brake lights are tide into the blinker switch some how!

 

Did you actually test the output of the brake switch with a meter or test lamp? It still could be the switch, because there are separate sets of contacts for the 3rd brake lamp and the regular tail brake lamps.

Another good possibility is that the connector at the base of the column is not plugged together well. It is a long plug (attached on the right side of the column) and it has a tendency to flex when it is plugged together. That tends to leave the outer cavities open and the wire for your brake lamps is right on the end (cavity P-light blue wire-info based on a 1995). Reach under there an pinch it together and see if your problem goes away.


BTW, when you want help, it's nice to include some info about your car. Basic things even, like what year/model. Lots of times, people will just skip over posts that don't include enough info for them to post a relevant answer. If the original poster won't take time to give enough info, then why should other people waste their time trying to guess? A very simple half line sig is adequate in most cases.

 

Shoebox......You are the MAN !!
It was the long connector on the column. It was cocked sidways and I cliped it in and now they work!!

THANKS SO MUCH for the info and the advise!!
