brake lights

[ryawn]

Well I was pulled over a week ago for having my break lights out. Turns out, the break lights are only out when my lights are off, the third break light on the rear window does work though. When I have my lights, or even just my day lights on, they work fine.

I did some searching on the forums for possible solutions, and saw someone recommending I switch my break light switch. Went to the dealership bought the part and replaced it, still don't work. I Tried changing the fuses, nothing. I really need to figure this out before my repair order is up, any ideas!?

The signal and other tail lights work fine, just not the brake lights.

the brake light bulbs are two in one.
They have two fillaments ( sp?)
it is quite common for one to be burned out and not the other.
New bulbs and you should be ready to roll !!!! ( or stop as is the case )
