What would cause the main brake lights (tailights) on a 2000 Chevy Silverado not to work while the cab brake lights work?
Asked by Agman9095 Dec 29, 2015 at 09:58 PM about the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Ext Cab 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The main brake lights (taillight) on my Chevy Silverado do not light up while the cab brake light does. I have changed the bulbs and checked all fuses. Any ideas anyone?

I would start by checking to see if there is power at the bulb ( ie. testlight). If not start inspecting the wiring harness and quick disconnect plugs located under the truck bed along the frame, these can be traced from the tail lights back. It could even be a broken wire in the harness.

It could also be the turn signal switch. Power for the outboard brake lights runs through the turn signal switch but the 3rd (cab) brake light does not. HTH. -Jim

i have a 2001 silverado 1500 extended cab and the dome light and door lights do not work. I have tried pressing the dome override switch and toggling the wheel dimmer up and down to no success. the map lights work, the cargo lights work, the instrument cluster and radio all work. I have replaced the 15A fuse under the hood for the CTSY LP and the bulb but still no luck.
