Is the turn signal and brake light on the same circuit?
Some lighting system designs integrate the turn signal and brake light systems which share the same circuit. Most lighting systems are grounded near the light bulb, which will produce a single bulb operation failure.
Why does my brake pedal light stop blinking?
When I turn on right side turn signal and press brake pedal, the indicator light stops blinking but exterior light still blinks. Could this be BCM problem? If so, could disconnecting battery reset it?
Why is the right turn signal light not working?
Back probe the wire that supplies power to the right turn signal lights; the test light should not light. If the test light illuminates, replace the switch. Repeat the test, but this time operate the switch so the right turn signals light.
What happens when you press the brake pedal?
When I push brake pedal, my left turn signal indicator light comes on. When i use left turn signal, it works fine until i press brake pedal. Then it speeds up real fast. When I turn on right side turn signal and press brake pedal, the indicator light stops blinking but exterior light still blinks.

Why is my blinker not working on my Turn signal?
A direction signal system is designed to operate with a flasher or blinker unit which interrupts the signal which created the blinking action. Learn more – Locate turn signal flasher in Google Images. Step 4 – When a turn signal switch fails the system will short or go “open” causing the blinker not to operate.
How does a direction signal system work on a car?
A direction signal system is designed to operate with a flasher or blinker unit which interrupts the signal which created the blinking action. Learn more – Locate turn signal flasher in Google Images.
Why are the brake lights not working but the tail lights are?
Blown out light bulbs are the most common reason for why the brake lights not working but the tail lights are. Remove the screws from the bulb lens (which you can access through the trunk or see your vehicle repair manual to get the exact location). Push the bulbs and turn them counterclockwise to remove from the socket.
Why are the turn signals on my car not working?
Signalling Problems. Turn signals on either side of the vehicle can be wired in series, much like the bulbs on a strand of Christmas tree lights. If one goes bad, or it isn’t properly grounded, it can affect the corresponding light on the same side.
What happens if you have a bad brake light switch?
The brake light switch on modern vehicles is no longer a simple switch used to turn on the brake lights. A bad brake light switch, for example, can trigger the ABS and traction control lights, but it can also prevent engine start or even transmission shifting. In this article, we go over the symptoms of a bad brake light switch and test them.
Why does my brake light and turn signal switch not work?
Without knowing exactly what wiring work was performed its nearly impossible to say definitively what the issue is. The brake light circuit and the turn signal circuit have crossed paths somewhere. The wires carrying the power supply from the turn signal switch is connected or touching the brake wires.
What to do when your brake lights are not working?
In the situation when brake lights are not working properly, you need to make sure that the power is going through and check the fuse. If the brakes lights are turned on at the same time as turn signal lights, you need to bring it to the mechanics for a check.
How can I tell if my turn signal switch is bad?
Check for a bad connection between the turn signal switch and the flasher or between the flasher and the ignition switch. Check the power side connection to the turn signal switch for a bad contact or open. Finally, check for an open or short in the lamp’s circuit. Identify the wires in your turn signal switch using your repair manual.
When do I use the turn signals, both tail lights blink like hazard lights?
Q: When I use the turn signals, both tail lights blink like hazard lights. Hello! I need help with a tail light problem.
