taillights not brightening

[CaRcRaZy]

i have a 2000 alero coupe. all my break lights are on but when i push on the break they do not brighten. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

check your wiring/fuses. if the bulbs have 2 filaments one, might be burned out.... (not sure if our cars have that or not)

I think theres a fuse specifically for the brake lightning. Check in both drivers and passengers fuse panel and dont forget the one under the hood, beside the brake fluid tank.

You could also check in your user manual, if you still have it, where is the concerned fuse.

If ALL of your brake lights light up idling, and ALL of them do not light up brighter when the brake is applied, I doubt every single bulb's second filament burned out. Most likely some other sort of wiring issue, likely a fuse.

break light switch.. all data will help u with that

Does the 3rd light work at all?

check your fuses and relay. Brake switch is not the cause. If your brake switch failed you cannot switch out of park.

Unless you accidentally replaced the bulbs with single filament type, then you are looking at the fuse panel hopefully
