Default New electrical problem...

Just when I thought it was safe to drive to the tire shop. Wife tells me my brake lights aren't lighting up when I brake, but they are lighting up when I hit my turn signals. I wonder if there's a seperate relay that went bad for the switch connected to the brake pedal or if the switch went bad itself. Anyways, I think I'm gonna be a certified corvette mechanic when I get this car ready to be registered back from non-op to road use again. Wonder why the rear lights only light up when turning and not braking.

If the 4-ways work I would check the brake switch. The FSM is your friend in this case.

Time to climb under the dash and check the pedal switch.
