1999-2013 Chevy or GMC tail light issues

Brake light, turn signal, and reverse lights all work bud for some reason my running light won’t come on. I just bought a harness for $30 and hopefully that fixes it.

Under the hood there’s a fuse for your running lights. There is 2 of them. One for the left and another for the right.

That circuit board will come out a lot easier if you use the slots in it. You only move it halfway across and pull straight out.

Spray pb blaster around the old board. When you it it to the left, be sure to only knock it to the tab holds. It comes off with ease

[@manuelbustos9334]

I just found your video, I've been having trouble with my brake lights also. Replaced fuses and the brake pedal switch, taillight housing ( I bought her used; someone put after market LEDs on it). All possible fuses under hood and fuse block under dash. This may be my final answer, (I hope it is). Thanks for putting this vid out there, I'll check back to let you know... Thanks again!

[@manuelbustos9334]

Well, I found my junction block in good shape, just full of dirt... Brushed it out, but still had trouble. Went back to the brake switch, because I realized when I took it off, it was positioned a particular way. So I adjusted it, and the brake lights worked, but wouldn't shut off. After watching another video, (sorry, but I wanted to cover all the bases), I took apart both new and old switch and found the new switch pins in the wrong order. So after an hour or so of tryin to get them set right, I finally got the switch back in and the brake lights, as well as all other lights, working properly again. Thanks for your video, fixing cars yourself is always a process, just takes patience.

FYI all you need to do is remove the screw on the right and the whole thing comes out, remove the electrical wires then remove the board by prying on the left side tab and then sliding it out

I take it if all of my taillight bulbs do not work, this is the part to replace? My Left taillight all three bulbs do not light up, but the brake light does only on one of the dual filament bulbs. My right taillight only one dual filament bulb works for taillight and brake light. Both small side lights single filament bulbs do not light up. That would make sense to replace the circuit board you replaced in this video.

[@rwk673]

The ground wire above the spare tire mount broke, that caused my taillight problem.

I have an 05 Silverado 1500 and there seems to be a short in the left brake light. So I have the brake pedal pushed in so the brake lights are on and I keep taking the bulb in and out and every once in a while the brake light will turn on and stay on. But every time I go somewhere and test to see if the left brake light is still working and it's not. So i pull the bulb in and out until it turns back on.

[@liljuanito123]

My problem is that my left tailight and license plate light don't turn on. My right side works. I've changed the circuit board, lights, and left/right harness. Checked fuses and nothing. Wondering if it's the harness that come from the front to the back that gives it power.
