Brake lights don't always work on 1996 Lumina due to faulty turn signal switch, I've notice this on several other 1995 -2001 Luminas as well.

Brake lights do not work. Third brake light in back dash works. The brake lights work sometimes when the turn signal switch is used. Bulbs and fuses are o. K.

Brake lights not working or working on/off. Found the cause to be the turn signal switch after replacing the stop light switch several times. This problem is very dangerous and should be repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to the owners of the cars.

The consumer indicated that the rear brake lights do not work. The only onle that work is the one mounted in the rear window. The lights did not work due to blown bulbs.

The brakes light only worked every now and then, the consumer noticed the same problem on other Luminas. This happened without warning. The bulbs and fuse have been checked. The consumer has not taken the vehicle to the dealer.

The two main brake lights no longer come on when brakes are applied. The 3rd brake light in rear window still works. Both bulbs were checked and even replaced to no avail. The turn signals flash at a high speed, unless the turn signal lever is manipulated with a slight pull/push. Checked several internet sites on the problem, and it seems it may be the directional signal switch. Not sure if this is a major fix with specialized tools if the problem is in the steering column.

Dt: the consumer owns a 1996 chevy Lumina. The consumer stated the brake lights and tail lights are not working properly. Sometimes they will work and sometime they will not. She has also noticed this on several other Luminas. The consumer says that she has changed the bulbs on the brake lights several times and she still notices this problem from time to time.

1998 Chevrolet Lumina - brake light failure (center light is ok, both taillights don't work). Very common, according to web searches of the problem. Related to turn signal and/or emergency flasher switch (if these are physically 'jiggled' brake lights temporarily work).

When applying brakes, our 1997 Chevrolet Lumina's high-mount brake light is the only one to go-on, the two rear brake lights won't light; when you gently push the turn signal lever towards the driver w/ foot applied on brake pedal, only then do all the brake lights light-up. . . This is a dangerous situation, now we have to pay a ind. Gas station to replace the turn-signal module w/ labor.

Turn signal switch is defective. Brake lights and tail lights are not showing in rear, but vehicle dash indicates that they are on. Cause unknown. Please provide any further information.
