might be a shortage in the wires, thats the only other thing i can think of

i would think there's some sort of relay for when you engage the brake pedal....you haven't looked at the owners manual? maybe there's a trouble shooting section in the back...it's probably the relay, though..no warranty left i guess?

I have learned there is a brake light switch by the pedal, I guess that could be it what do ya think? I gotta fix this problem before I get rear ended!

um....i would sway towards..yes
it's something simple like that..

brake light switch probably

Yeah, there is a switch up under the dash. When the brake is released it should hold the plunger in the switch in keeping the lights off and when the brake is pressed the plunger is released allowing the lights to come on. It should be about halfway up the brake pedal arm.

Alright, just crawled under there, I see the switch, I will replace it tommorrow! It's tight under there, wish it was under warranty still. Thanks Guys!

G Zeringue all chevys have a 3 year 36,000 mi. bumper to bumper warr. and a 5 yr. 100,000 mi. powertrain warr. If you are under 36,000 miles it should be covered under warr. you also should check and see if you bought an extended warr. you would be suprised how many people can't remember if they have bought an extended warr. If you want you can call me at BANNER Chevy. (504)242-2000 or best # to call me on is my cell (504)352-0995 I will see what I can do.

Good Luck,

The brake light switch could very well be the problem but the brake lights also run through the turn signal switch on the older chevys and I am pretty sure it does on the newer ones too. I own a mechanic shop and change lots of turn signal switches on chevy vehicles for brake light problems. Make sure you check every fuse b/c they might get voltage from another circuit also. Good luck!

These pieces of cr4p! Four hours labor at 90$ an hour to no avail! I still have no brake lights, the guy says, we had them working and we put the fuse box back in and now they don't work. So he wants $1150.00 to replace the fuse box. Well I lost it. I told him to shove it, I will figure out a way to rig it, jump it or something.

with electrical problems it is critical to find the problem through a process of elimination, not just changing stuff out.

Sounds like you got a parts changer not a technician working on your truck. How many miles on it?

That would be the next thing that I would look at. Please let us know what was the problem when you find it.

Is this a new body style or a "classic" body?

Stop- DO NOT PAY THE DEALER ANY MONEY.
You brought the truck in to have a problem fixed/repaired.If they DID NOT repair/fix the probem, do not pay them. Plain & simple. I have a tree to cut down. If the contractor can not cut it down, I will not pay him to make an attempt. If they will not return the vehicle till paid, write a check ,get ur vehicle,then stop payment on the check.

It's a Bad ground. My bet

hey g give me a call. i am a tech at best chevy. should be able to get to the problem for you. michael. 985-703-0362.

Unless you put more than 36000 miles on the truck in a year, the issue should be covered under warranty. Why in the heck are you paying for something that would definately be covered by the warranty. It is 2007 model. Pay for nothing, and have them fix it. Brake light switch, wiring harness, fuse block, engine, transmission, rear end, muffler bearing, or whatever. IT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT AT THE DEALERSHIP.

Also, tell them to give you a loaner unitl it is fixed.

If all else fails, take it to Dr. Roberts in Slidell. They've diagnosed my touchy vehicle problems, and absolutely will not screw you.

trade it in on a Toyota Tundra...just picking GZ..
