    brake lights no worky!!

    Before I changed the flasher, I had the left brake lights working,but not the right. Also did not have right turn signals. Once the flasher got changed, I got both turn signals working but have no brake lights,even on the left side that once was working.

    thanks, I have checked all the points you mentioned and all are good and clean,the baffling part is that I had the left rear brake light working until I changed the turn signal flasher. since then, no brake lights even when putting the original flasher back in

    UPDATE! Need expert opinions on 86 or 87

    the main thing I have noticed with the TBI is a stiff throttle pedal,both of the 87's I have owned seem to have that issue,

    well after a day of checking grounds, checking connections, and re-checking, I think this truck is gonna need a new turn signal switch!! oh JOY! That's where everything is leading to. with all the wires going to the rear working with the exception of the brake lights, i think that's where I am...

    winter time project!!

    I went with 18" wheels, mainly cause I got a screamin deal on the tires, but also seems they are phasing out the 16 in tires since all the new rigs are coming out with 18 - 20 inch wheels. I think I will keep the same colors but re paint in a satin finish

    what has got me stumped, is that why I had the left rear brake light working,and the right rear brake and turn not working,then by replacing the flasher i had both turn signals working but no brake lights??? The 4 ways are working fine?? just seems weird that the flasher change made this difference

    I replaced a turn signal switch in a 72 Chevy I had years ago,but it didn't have all the multi function switch stuff like this thing has. windshield wiper, High beam and the cruise control ,might be better to let my buddies shop take care of it ,if that's what it turns out to be

    brake lights no worky!!

    I think all the grounds are good as every other light circuit is working, just no brake lights. starting to think it is in the turn signal switch, that may have to go to the shop to get done,not sure about doing it my self

    brake lights no worky!!

    thank you!! I have been reading that the brake light power seems to go into and through the turn signal switch.then on to the brake lights. this seems to be where i am at,
