My 2001 Lumina has break light failures, the third break light does work but niether of the other two. I have read so many things about this already and being a woman I followed up on one lead. I did check the switch under the break pedla and it is working. So I had to remove the actual turn signal housing switch, what a job. I pulled the fuse #21 first, then I pulled the battery. I was abel to disconnect everything and removed the air bag and so far so good. I pulloed the steeering wheel off and yes I am a woman here, disconnected the switch and took it to Autozone and got a new one and a new cam because the original was broken off on the inside go figure bet that was my only problem but don't know now I get to put her back together again and I hope to remember how it all fits. I do have a diagram. Now after all this is said and done and if they still don't work what will be the next move. The flashers, bulbs, fuses are all good to go. I have no real money to pay for this to be done we are talking over 300.00. I work with mechanics and asked for thier help but when the word air bags came up they all freaked out, well how come I a free lanser sort to speak can pull this off with no problem and they are afraid to help. I just don't get it.
My next question is how about the air bag system for the front passangers side glove box area is there another fuse for that or is is all of the same fuse etc. I need to know for I ahve to remove the top where the air bag sits under to repair the leather covering it pulled away and I need to re secure it and I am afraid of the air bag going off. Can someone help me with this? Thanks
