On my TSTE I have an issue with the right side brake light. The running lights illuminate...but the brake lights to not. The bulbs are good. Any suggestions where I should start looking? 8)
I would look for a wiring problem where the brake light harness starts. Meaning where the one wire gets split to both brake lights.
Make sure not to leave out the TSS as a possibility, Dubs are known for shitty TSS'.
Does you center mount stop light work?
Usually if your brake lights on the back don't work (1 or both), but the center one does, it's a problem in the turn signal switch (as Jay mentioned).
TGPilot,
Did you get the lights figured out yet? I'll be back in CO next week if you need help? (I blame Mrs GPChief for any and all problems associated with car :twisted: !!!!!!)

I haven't even had time to look at it. Between the Daytona and Baby and Momma and Work and blah blah blah! :cry:
Service manual on the way...won it for $7 on ebay!! :shock:
If anyone has a clue where to look beyond the two power plugs in the right rear wheel well. I have no power for the brake lights at the plug for the right side...I do at the other plug for the left though! :roll:
check the ground (check for corrosion) on the brake light. the brake light harness should only be like 4 wires that go to a connector.
I'm looking at the wiring diagram now and it looks like the wire that goes to the brake light on that side is the dark green one use a volt meter to see if there is voltage when you press the brake pedel.
if there is then you might have a bad ground if there isn't than the wire might be grounded somewere or damaged. From the looks of the diagram the wire that goes to the brake light comes strait from the turn signal switch. So it might be the TSS if nothing else checks out.
TSS to the Brake light? :shock:
Yes, believe it or not, the TSS does work together with the brake lights.
The hazard switch in my old Lumina got all messed up one night. My center mount stop light would work, but the rest of the brake lights were dead. If I jiggled the hazard switch around with the brakes pressed, the rest of the lights flickered on and off.
No shit! :shock: So these cars are a 1990's wiring NIGHTMARE??!! :wink: I should have the manual here within the next couple of days so I can start playing with the schematics... 8)
