No brake lights

[two90west]

I go to the garage start my car car up and I see I don't have any brake lights I checked all the wires and checked the fuse panel I have power just no lights. All my turn signals work but when I turn on the lights my gas gauge and my speedometer shuts off. My car is a 1983 regal, please help me. I hate electrical problems :evil: :evil:

You mean your lights in your dash turn off or your gas gauge and Speedo stop working?

check the brake switch at the brake pedal, orng is power in and white is power out when the brakes are applied.

I think the problem is in the turn signal switch. Check the dark green and yellow wire on the connector you'll find on your column for current when the brakes are applied. If you have non then the turn signal switch needs to be replaced.
