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.

sorry for being a tart, but what am I checking for @ the break pedal ?????

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 :cry:

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