What is causing my left brake light to go off and back on when I use my turn signal. I have replaced the steering column and it still does this.

Asked by justmeamore Mar 09, 2007 at 08:11 PM about the 1977 Chevrolet Camaro

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1977 chevy camaro. When I use my turn signals it makes the left brake light go off and comes back on when I wiggle the blinker switch. I previously owned a 1974 camaro that had the same problem, so I assume it is a manufacturer's defect. I have replaced the steering column, but this problem still exists. Any ideas?

I would check your grounds first. It sounds like something is not grounded. Maybe the signal switch is bad or loose. Good luck..

My 1997 camaro struggles sometimes to get up and go if u know what i mean. I know it has a purge flow problem that the check engine light kept coming on. So back in September wheni had to get it inspected I took it somewhere and they did something to it that the purge flow will never show up for the check engine light to come on. Let me know what u think I should do to fix it. 6 Answers

I have a 1989 Camaro RS V6. On my way home from work yesterday I noticed that all my guages are floating the speedometer was bouncing around between 60 and 70 sporadically. The temperature gauge, oil gauge, rpm and gas gauge were all floating around when I slow down they all start coming back down? For just a second I smelt a very strong burning smell (electrical) that very quickly faded. The SES light has been on constant the whole time this is happening. Same thing was happening on the way to work this morning car is running and driving just fine. I guess today when I get home I can check the codes to see what codes I get as a starting point and work my way from there. I will also check the ground wires to see if maybe I am not getting good connection somewhere. Could it be my battery by chance? Maybe even a stripped wire somewhere?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 4 Answers
