Exclamation Brake Lights Not Working - Fuse or Switch?

Hello All,

I need some help getting my brake lights to work. I noticed the other day that none of the three brake lights (left, right & center) will not light up when I press the brake pedal. However, the lamps work when the day lights are on and they still blink with the turn signals. At first I thought it might be a burnt out fuse, but checking the fuse box.. there is no break lamp fuse listed in the manuals. So i'm thinking it may be a switch that is out somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem before? I'm just out of my warranty.. so Ill have to pay for any new repairs - Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

I developed the same exact problem with my '06 H3. Do you recall what caused your problem?

I had the same thing happen to me over the summer. mine was the switch. all I did was take the switch out from behind the peddle, push it in and out a bunch of times to free it up and then shot a little electronics lube on it, haven't had an issue since. I'm assuming they build up a little corrosion over time from moisture from your rain/snow covered shoe.

mine happened immediately after I got it back from gm replacing the radiator so I naturally assumed the bcm was going out, very releaved to discover it was a simple free solution
