While stopped at light a motorist informed me that we didn't have any brake lites. After arriving home I had my wife apply the brakes and only the third brake lite came on. I had my wife take our surburban in to the dealer, had it checked out, and was informed that we had a short in the rear lite harness. It was repared for $118. The following day we drove the surburban up to Iowa over the memorial day weekend. After returning I was again informed by a motorist that I didn't have any brake lites. Arriving home I checked the brake lites again, and again only the third brake lite came on. I had my wife take the surburban back to the dealer, had it checked out, and was informed that it was the exterior lighting brake light switch or the multifuntion switch. My surburban is currently at the dealership having the swtch replaced for $637.

In 2000 or 2001 while the vehicle was still in warrenty, I had traveled to Kentucky for a visit with family. My father-in-law noticed that I had no tail lights or brake lights. A local Chevy dealership replaced the brake switch at the pedal (stoplight switch). In March of this year my wife was following me in our other vehicle when she noticed that there was no brake lights or tail lights coming on again. I thought that the switch had worked loose. When I pushed in on the switch the brake lights started working again. Then last week my wife was backing out of a parking space and noticed in the store windows behind her that the brake lights were not working again. She drove to an auto parts store and purchased a stoplight switch. I was able to replace the switch. Thankfully of the 3 incidents with being unaware of having no brake lights there was never an accident. How many other people may have been unfortunate and this switch has caused an accident?
