Electrical problem
2006 Chevy Trailblazer All Wheel Drive 51446 miles

Hello,
I am having a problem with my brake lights. Both have went out even after we have changed the bulbs. I looked in the manuel to make sure that we had the correct bulbs and they still are not working. However the turn signal bulbs and the reverse bulbs work perfectly. Please provide some suggestions on how to fix. Thanks!

So, you think that the turn signal switch is faulty even though the turn signal lights are working and the brake lights are out?

yes brake light circuit goes through turn signal switch. Have you looked at brake switch on top of pedal? When pedal depressed switch closes and completes circuit.
