Chevy Van brake light problem

[@behroozrahmatellahi8116]

Thank you very much boss You fix my problem All I can say is GOD bless you for helping guys like me that cannot afford mechanic shop. I'm not saying mechanics are bad I'm just broke all the time and couldn't afford $150 per hour fee for mechanics. Thanks again good man

[@briansansone]

ive been trying to figure this out for years. Exactly the same issue. I drove my van like that for 15 years, then I finally got pulled over for it. Thanks for the video!!

[@ashadedreflection4486]

u got away with the bad break light for 15 yrs? Damn, that's quite the streak, good job!

[@akku1626]

My 99 Chevy Express had the same problem. I fixed it with the new tail light harnesses (Dorman part# 923-017). It solved the problem for 45$ in 60 minutes. Thx for the video!!!

[@colettemitchell3412]

Thank you.

[@ktimco]

I want to say, this video saved me hours of headache pointin me to try replacing these terminals as my first effort in fixing the exact symptoms my van was having, NO BRAKE LIGHTS! I ordered two Dorman replacements Amazon Prime, 2 days later I swapped them out..and BAM all lights working again, under $40 , my van is a 2002 1500 express 6cyl, the part was 923-015 tail light harness GM, thank you thank you. I first thought it was something wrong with a trailer hitch installed before I purchased it...This is a pretty important repair, no brake lights ....not good! again Thanks for posting this...

[@neopolaris]

Same problem as you. Thanks for the part numbers!

I’ve got a 2002 Express 3500 I’ve owned since new. Got exact same problem both sides. My troubleshooting has me down to that harness when I decided to see if YT would save me some time. So Thankyou for the vid.

[@justinjeske2479]

Very helpful for a recently purchased 2000 Chevy Express. Thank you

[@dennisthompson1823]

[@michaelkern8856]

thank you 2014 savrna 3500 van similar problem, thanks for video.

[@rustyshackleford3647]

At inspection station now.. (Chevy van G10) ..exact same issue.. waiting to hear diagnosis... they're trying new bulbs now.. thanks for the heads up!

[@bt4291]

I wanna know if they actually diagnosed it properly. And if so.... did this video get an extra view that day lol.

[@sharrayjenkins]

Thank u needed that

[@mechmotor]

thank you magic mechanic man

[@dwaynedelung2046]

Turn signal multi-function switch also can cause similar issues.

[@asid731]

Where did you get the harness

[@Pyro17059]

Napa I believe. Anyone who carries the Dorman product line should be able to get it.

[@asid731]

@@Pyro17059 thanks for letting me know

[@rustyshackleford3647]

...I ordered new sockets.. 37 bucks each and next day shipping.. 95 total.. hoping I don't need new harness.. does the harness come with sockets?.. if it's the harness at least I have new sockets now, too.. or will I end up with 4 new sockets if I need a harness.. ?

[@Pyro17059]

In my case, it WAS the sockets themselves that were bad. With that being said, I had purchased the dorman assembly which is the harness and all the sockets pre wired so it was just a matter of twisting in the new sockets and plugging it in. Sounds like you'll either have some soldering or some crimping to do but sockets alone will MOST LIKELY fix your issue.

[@colettemitchell3412]

I have this problem. Where is the best source for break harness

[@Pyro17059]

Take your pick...it's made by Dorman so anybody who handles Dorman products should sell it. Local parts stores,maybe Amazon, rockauto etc...

[@365COMPASS]

Thank you

[@BIGZOE]

Does your van have a plate with the harness built in

[@Pyro17059]

You mean like the circuit board style? Where the bulbs plug into a board rather than individual sockets? If so, no.

[@ashadedreflection4486]

so just replace the harness?

[@Pyro17059]

Now that its in production, yes.

[@nancyh.9193]

Does anyone have a suggestion if it's the same problem but lights are LED, hence no sockets? It's a 2007 GMC Sierra

[@Pyro17059]

Same EXACT problem? And are you saying ALL the rear lights are LED or just the 3rd brake light?

[@skymiller530]

Replaced both wiring harnesses. Now, I have no tail lights, no brake lights (except for the third brake light.

[@Pyro17059]

It's possible you have other issues as well. What was the original issue?

[@skymiller530]

@@Pyro17059 Original: When lights are on, no brake lights. When lights are not on (daytime) brake lights work fine.

[@MichaelRiach]

I wonder if a single filament (incorrect bulb) would cause that symptom? @@skymiller530

[@richardlavelle4521]

@@skymiller530 same issue here in my 00’. It’s came down to same issue you have. Daytime no problem. Nighttime I have running lights in back but no tails but my third brake light stays on. Last week I had brake lights at night but the running lights would dim while hitting the pedal. I cleaned the sockets, added dielectric grease and cleaned all my grounds inside van at rear now this. Did you ever get it figured out? Thank you

[@skymiller530]

@@richardlavelle4521 Yes I finally have everything working correctly. But I am terribly sorry to say that I shelled out $100. for someone else to deal with it, and they fixed it rather quickly. I didn't ask, they didn't tell. I was just so happy to have ed everything working without any more of my own personal time involved. I was so aggravated over these lights. I hope you get relief soon.

[@javierlongoria274]

Mine burns off the light bulb from the right turn signal all the time. That will be the front right side. Any idea what could it be?

[@Pyro17059]

What exactly do you mean "it burns off the light bulb" ?

[@javierlongoria274]

@@Pyro17059 I have put a new light bulb 3 times already and it keeps burning the right turn filament.

[@Pyro17059]

@@javierlongoria274 hm..thats interesting. Haven't come across this problem ever. I suppose first Id double check that you're using the correct bulb. If thats correct, maybe hook up a voltmeter to that circuit and make sure its not getting bursts of high voltage somehow (doubtful) ...another possibility is cheap bulbs.

[@skymiller530]

So what is the part number? If you don't remember the part number, what is the NAME of that part of the wiring harness? Good video, but revealing the part number or name would also be helpful. I have no idea of what to order to fix the problem. H E L P

[@Pyro17059]

923-017 was the dorman part number for our application. They label it as a tail light wiring harness.
