Re: No brake lights

[quote=richtazz]Cadgear is correct on this issue. The brake light switch also operates the 3rd brake light, so it's not your issue. All power to the main tail/turn/brake lamps is routed through the turnsignal/multifunction switch. It's a very common problem in all GM cars with this type steering column. There are 2 different ones, depending on whether you car has accessory controls on the steering wheel. The Haynes also omits the step to remove the bolt in the center of the terminal block where the turn signal harness hooks to the car. You'll never get it apart without removing the bolt in the center without breaking it. The harness slides out toward the center seam, not to the outside, necessitating separating the two halves of the junction block.[/QUOTE

So, are you saying I don't have just a switch problem under the dash? I have to go through the steering column to replace the turnsignal switch?

I still would like to know how to get off the switch under the dash as I think I broke it.
