View Full Version : 1997 6.5 Suburban with no brake lights
Hi, all. The brake lights on my '97 stopped working, but all the other lights work. Before I condemn the switch at the brake pedal, I'd like to check for power out of it at the relay terminals. There's no brake relay in the fuse/relay box under the hood (driver's side), and no female terminals in it to receive a relay anyway, even though the cover diagram says it should be there. Does anyone know where the brake light relay is located? Thanks in advance.
I should have said that the previous owner wired in a TAP Brake Master for towing. I don't know anything about that system.

IIRC my 94 had another fuse panel on the left end of the dash. Door open you can remove the cover to access it
Thanks, a5150nut. The fuse in that block is good. I'm trying to find the square 4-pin relay that, at least on other GMT400s, is in the relay box under the hood.
It's the switch. I jumpered the orange and white at the switch connector and got brake lights back. I have a vague recollection from years ago, when I replaced the switch before, of losing a really thin metal bushing that slips over the post where the switch sits before you put the switch on. Does anyone know anything about a bushing? I don't mean the retaining clip.
