If there is no voltage, the brake light switch may be bad. If there is voltage, then your bulbs are bad. _____________________________ 2001 MN6 Coupe, all options Halltech Stinger-R intake w/cold air mod - see www.conceptualpolymer.com (Corvette Corner) BPP shifter w/glass elegance shift knob Borla Stinger quad round exhaust Goodyear GSD3s (in reply to gigabyte) Post #: 2

I would check the brake light switch ONLY after ensuring that there is no voltage at the tail lights when you''re braking. The brake light switch should be under the brake pedal somewhere. I''d put the seat all the way back, grab a flashlight and take a look. _____________________________ 2001 MN6 Coupe, all options Halltech Stinger-R intake w/cold air mod - see www.conceptualpolymer.com (Corvette Corner) BPP shifter w/glass elegance shift knob Borla Stinger quad round exhaust Goodyear GSD3s (in reply to gigabyte) Post #: 4

You never really know until you test...... thanks again (in reply to Dave01) Post #: 5
