Cadillac Repair: Brake lights not working on 85 Cadillac, cadillac fleetwood brougham, 1985 cadillac fleetwood

Question
I have a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham and the vehicle has no brake lights. I replaced the brake bulbs and still no brake lights?

Answer
Hello,

You are going to need someone experienced to look at it. The problem is that it is an old car and there are too many things that could be wrong and to just change parts on a guess chasing ghosts could get real expensive.
The first thing that you need to do is have someone hold the brake, while you have a test light near the brake light socket to see if you even have power. You probably don't.

Check the brake light fuse. If that is good, does this car have trailer wiring on it? Many times the problem is there.

Other things that can be wrong are-brake light switch, turn signal switch inside the steering column or wiring problems. Are you sure you put the correct bulbs in the brake lights?

Good Luck!
