Brake lights

Since the center high-mount brake light works, we know the brake light switch is okay. That only leaves a break in a wire, which is not real likely, or a problem with the "TIPM", (Totally Integrated Power Module). This is another case of the insane engineers hanging an unnecessary, unreliable, expensive computer where it is not needed. The two rear brake lights are switched on and off by that computer. Common sense would have connected all three lights together and have them switched by the brake light switch. That seemed to work pretty well for almost one hundred years!

Hello,

Don't rule out the brake light bulbs are out on both. Here are some guides and wiring diagrams to help you get the problem fixed.

Please run some tests and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Yes they look like they are the same bulb.

Please let us know what happens.
