My brake lamp light inside the dash has come on, as though my bake lamp needs to be replaced, however it is fine. When this light in the dash is on (it comes on intermittently) my turn signal does not work properly, and does not work at all when I use my brakes.

Hi rickela5,

The taillight wireharness ground circuit is bad causing the problem. Check for loose or contaminated gound wires at trunk harness.
