Re: Just bought a vette have a electrical question...... (SpeedConcept)
Well, I'm just guessing you've seen if the bulbs are burnt out......There is a sensor on the brake pedal that tells the brake lights when the brake is depressed. Check that, It looks kind of like a cylinder with a little button coming out of it, but if your 3rd brake light works then that shouldn't be the case. Check wires, clean connections, check fuses, change bulbs. It should be pretty simple.
