Dash lights - have you checked the fuse?

Brake lights - could it be a bad ground somewhere?

The gauge lights are controlled by the dimmer switch.

Calm down bud, Yelling at someone isn't gonna get your question answered. more than likely youll just get ignored for it.


As killert said, check the fuses and make sure there isn't a ground fault happening somewhere

Re: brake lights only work sometimes(90 camaro)

If I wanted a gas hog I would have bought one, but I didn't. Also I wasn't attacking you, I was trying to be nice, and also trying to help. But if you want to attack, Fine. I will not follow that ignorant path.

Also if you have a little common sence and $20 go to the autoparts store and gat a Haynes manual or Chiltons Manual. The Stop light switch is on the Brake pedal(Front side)and it clips in.


Also a camaro does have a dimmer...ITS BUILT INTO THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH...So his info was somewhat helpfull to others
Your welcome
