ok. i just noticed that i dont have brake lights when i have my head lights and running lights on. i do have brake lights when i dont have the headlights or running lights on. whats the deal with that? and my 3rd brake light isnt working.. i hear that can also cause the abs inop to comeon?

 

nobody has any idea?

 

the third brake light can do that to your abs, yes. replace it.

make sure your other bulbs are in the right way

 

yea they are. i tried flippin them around an they wouldnt even go in.. so i have no idea what the deal is.. i cant drive the damn car at night.. anymore suggestions?

 

On Blazers and such, a faulty hazard switch can cause that exact problem. Don't know what car you have though.

 

Not quite the same problem I had but most of my issues were resolved by a once over in the fuse box. Some of mine were missing from previous ownership.

 

i have a 94 firebird formula., i cant figure it out.. i have the right bulbs.. there the right way.. im stumped

 

Do you need new sockets? I was trying to think why I put new sockets in my 94 T/A a few years ago....

 

im not sure? they are kinda dirty.. but the connecter inside the socket looks clean.. just dirty around it. also.. i noticed i have a dent in my hazard light solenoid? if its the round one on top of the square one under the dash..

 

Well I was thinking more a long the lines of bad wiring/connections in the factory sockets. I'm not much of an electrician though. What do you mean by hazard light solenoid? You mean the flasher?

 

I had to replace both of my 2 filiment sockets in the rear. after that all my lights worked great. They worked before hand though, just really slow and sometimes would stop.

 

yea whatever that thing is called.. i guess i will replace my sockets.. just doesnt make sense why they woudl work when my headlights are off..

 

new update. both my 3rd brake light bulbs were blown.. i replaced them. i have all brake lights when my head lights are off... but when i turn my headlights on all i have are running lighs. but my 3rd brake light works when i hit the brakes.. what the hell is going on. all my bulbs are the correct ones.. there all in the right way. there all good.. when i hold my foot on the brake when my head lights are off, when there actually working. an turn on the headlights the brake lights shut off an go strictly to running lights.. please help!

 

do you have an aftermarket radio in the car?

 

no. stock stock stock. everything is stock lol. but.. the dipshit i bought it from had some foglights installed.. but i took them out.. they were on a toggle switch.

 

The reason I ask. is cause I have dipshit friends who instead of buying the wiring harness, just cut out the factory harness, and spliced the wires to the new head unit. This caused many problems with the interior and exterior lighting. Just wanted to make sure you didnt make the same mistake....Sorry I couldnt help more.

 

Yeah you can buy those adapter plugs for less than $10.

 

haha no , but i also have dipshit friends that wont go buy the adapters. they love riggin ****.. an it makes me mad lol, they tried that **** on my truck one time and my radio never turned off!

 

so what can i do? what can i look for?.. this is buggin me. i need brake lights!

 

alright guys. today i got wind of having a bad or screwed up headlight switch. possibly could be causing my problem. well, i take my front dash cover off.. i notice a black female plug in sitting by the plugins that go into my light switch.. well theres no spot for this one to plug in? any idea what it is? i took my light tester to see if it had power goin to it.. an it did. i accidently touched 2 of the connectors inside together and i blew out my IP dimmer fuse? could i have the wrong light switch?
