Both of my break lights are out and It's not the fuse. Do I have a major problem ????? And what are the chances both bulbs blew at the same time. Any info would be greatly appreciated ! |

I dont know if it is the same but with my 93 cavalier when 1 headlight went out it surged the other headlight and blew that one as well. |

Get a multi meter and check the system. |

look up the brake pedal arm and start looking for wires that come from it. |

quick question, Is this a KJ? If it is, do you have a trailer hitch and a wireharness? If so have you used the trailer hitch and harness lately? Reason for 20 questions is I borrowed a trailer from a friend and he didn't tell me about a short in his brake lights, so when I plugged in the trailer I bleww like 4 different fuses. took me hours to find them all. Blew fuses that were not labeled as having anything to do with the brake lights. CHECK ALL OF THE FUSES I will bet there are more than one blown. |

There is a sensor on the brake pedal up on the other side of the plastic molding that triggers the electrical system to turn on/off the the brake lights. It could be bad...but probably not. I replaced mine and it took the dexterity of a dentist and the hand size of a 3 year old...no dice. Turned out it was a light out on the high mount brake light that caused the whole circuit to act funky. So check every light, then have your three year old help

That's strange (I'm refering to the failure.) I've had my 3rd brake light go out without that issue. |
