Early 2000 Tahoe

Used Tahoe for farming this Spring. Parked in open machine shed till now. I had a total knee replacement done. Fired it up to drive and found out my brake lights quit. The cruise works. Also now my wipers if turned on will not stop till I shut the engine off...………….

Welcome to AF

Is your Tahoe an "Old Body Style" (looks like a '97) or a "New Body Style (looks like an '02)?

'98-'00 were transition years between the two with big differences electrically.

Look for mice nests and chewed wiring.

It's the old style. Will check underneath tomorrow and under the hood better. I bought a Gleaner F2 combine at a sale last year.. The rats ate most of the wiring harness up in the console.

OK, good. More ?'s. Do the rear turn signals work? Do the rear hazards work?

The turn signals work and the hazard flashers work. Now the windshield wiper controls work. It has been parked in the shed since June. As for mice I have barncats that seem to control them. Thanks

So now it's just the brake lights that don't work?

correct

Does the 3rd brake light work and did it before this?

Now it does not work..sure it worked this Spring. I only put 3000 miles a year on it. In the Spring 500 miles to the lake to get the pontoon out of storage and into the lake. thanks

With all that said, I would suspect the brake lite switch is bad.

I will see if I can get the clip off and the switch tomorrow..thanks

It was the switch. It sure was hard getting my hands up in the small space. Works great. Thanks 777stickman..
