Changing the brake light switch is easy. There is an exception to the don’t use a larger amp fuse. I recently found out Caravans sometimes energize the wires…

Good video, very smooth with your explanations. Word of advise: make sure
you cover up your license plate or any other insignia or moniker which
could give away your personal co-ordinates.
Great video sir, Very informative and straight to the point
Dont be a dum dum lol
I do not have brake lights when my headlights are on. The brake lights work
when my lights are off. What is the problem, please?
Okay pulled out the stop and rh/lh signal fuses… light are still
on..Pulled out the hazard fuse > the lights go off. With the fuse in and
the hazzard relay activated … they seem to blink fine. Perhaps a very
borked hazzard relay?…hmm
great video. thank you steve. I hope its that easy for my dodge Durango.
Thanks for the video… Didn’t fix the problem though. 3rd brake light
shows about 13-14 volts when brake pedal is pushed, and about 9 volts when
it is not… the other stop lights seem to be on constantly at the same
voltage regardless. I’m guessing theres some short somewhere :(
From a women’s point of view…AWESOME!
i replaced the front bulbs, they are now blinking but still fast, i
carefully looked at the rear ones they are still in good shape, but not to
long ago, my mail headlight wire leading back to the tail lights got
pinched in between the truck box ans bolt rest, it shorted out my drl
module, i replaced that , i have front blinkers, headlights but still no
beak lights , so i watched ur show, checked all my fuses they are all good,
looked at the tail lights again they are good so i figured bl switch
Thanks for the help! Worked perfectly on my ’98 GC.
Thanks a bunch! Your video helped me out a lot! I was able to change my
brake lights, brake light switch and the fuse. Thank you
Thanks Percaine
I have a 2006 and my radio shut off and the light when out I don’t know
were the fuse’s are can you help me and thank you for your videos.
how much do you have to pay your camera person per video steve i hope their
not too pricey, is it me or is it always real windy in your part of nova
scotia ? the local auto shop will put a bounty out on you soon steve if
your not careful, 17 from sean/4mcwatt
Hey, I don’t know if I screwed up, but I replaced the brake light switch
and I still don’t have brake lights. I also checked the fuse, it was fine.
Could one or more of my brake lights be out? Would they both be out if one
of them was burnt out?
ok this makes more sense. The break light switch is fairly cheap, but i
hate spending money that I dont have to, and I wouldn’t feel right to say
its one thing or another without being 100% thats what you need to buy. Do
your tail lights work when you turn on the park lights? signal lights
usually blink fast if a bulb is burnt out. Keep me posted =]
another good one Steve
could be a faulty brake light switch or a really bad short but that should
be blowing the fuse or could be blowing the bulbs….a strange one
lol….. My concern is the brake light switch doesn’t control the tail
lights, only the brake lights but these could be separate issues. Before
you buy the brake light switch, check the one you have installed now and
see if the button is flipped down…. if it is, flip it up and see if the
brake lights work
so the third brake light works but the brake lights in the tail light
don’t?… sounds like it could be either bad sockets the bulbs sit in,
burnt out lights or a break in the wiring harness…. there’s a wire for
each light (3 white/tan wires) that go from the front to the back. Not sure
where the splice is under the dash for each light but the break could be
there
The fuse box is to the right of the battery when you open the hood. remove
the black plastic cover and there you go. The fuses are labeled under the
cover =]
steve I have the problem of the brake lights light only works above and
below do not work! I change the switch function if you show in the video???
thanks for your help
Steve..Thanks so much for taking the time o make this video. I replaced
mine today based on your video, otherwise a professional would have gotten
my hard earn money,.. Way to go!!!!
hey Steve have a 2000 caravan. i have singles and breaks lights on the left
but the tail lights dont work on that side.. i have check the bulbs they
work the fuses are good and ideas
yeah the break light switch on this truck is hard to finde and i havent
found a video on were they are located ,
thanks Steve!! You just helped a girl fix her van!
My break lights wont go off. I figure its the switch. I have a 2001 Nissan
xterra, Whe I look up by the pedal I see 2 connector things, I pulled one
out and the brake lights went off. Now I am not sure where the switch is in
regards to the connector??
Thanks a ton – your video is great and helped me immensely. Hope I can
return the favour somehow, sometime.
if your signal lights are flashing fast (and none of the bulbs are burnt
out) and a head light issue, the brake light switch probably isn’t the
cause. Have you researched this issue on dodge forum DOT com?
great with replace the internal wiring is that the part that would plug
into the tail light?
I am trying tomorrow, hope this fixes it. Thanks for the detailed video.
Thanks for adding your input….. with electrical, anythings possible
Thanks ! this was very helpful
nope, no tail lights what so ever, so the switch is my last hope obi1knobi,
🙂 i will find out tomorrow, will let you know if it worked
Just had the very dame thing happrn my switch blew both bulbs but didnt
blow the fuse!!! Better to replace everything ie fuse bulbs and switch for
under $25.00 it’ll give ya piece of mind and will rule everything but
wiring out for the most part it’s almost always one of those three items…
It could be the socket (where the bulb is inserted) but I was meaning more
the tail light itself (it has wiring inside that may have gotten corroded)
if yours is like the tail lights are for the 2001-2007 tail lights.
I’m not sure what you mean. It’s a 20amp fuse
Thank you, it’s the first time for me trying to fix my brake lights, wish
me luck!
Yeah Sean, it’s always windy around my place….. I’m not far from the
coast (under 2KM)… my camera persons are very affordable….. thank
god….lol an ice cream here, mcdonalds there……LOL
great job 🙂
could be the internal wiring on the tail lights or the sockets might not be
making a good connection for the tail light to work.
I hope this works for my 97 dakota, my high beams wouldn’t shut off so had
the little black box unplugged i have front blinker’s that blink really
really fast, but still no break lights, so i figure replace the black box
and the switch, i didn’t know it had one , i wish there was a give stars on
here if this fixes my dakota problem that ive been trying to figure out for
4 months id give u 10stars *wish me luck !
whats the name of the fuse that you change? for the brake light switch?
Steve 45ca sir i like your video its very informative I like the expertise
verbal commentary sure.
