no break lights!!!

Have a 1985 trans am. All my lights work except stopping lights. My turn signals work great, my hazards work great, and reverse lights as well. I replace all fuzes with good ones and break switch. I also checked wiring and grounds. I rebuilt the steering collumn about 3 months ago and put a new turn signal lever switch and multifunctional in as well. I didn't have any problems then..... what could it be guys I'm stumped..... I had one bulb go out about two weeks ago and a week later they all went out I've been having this problem for about a week

I googled several sites for you.

Based on the same "no brake lights" complaint by other Camaro owners, it would appear that the wiring for Camaro brake lights goes through the steering column.

You recently worked on the steering column and/or the turn-signal wiring.

You need to go back in there and find the failed connection.

Trace/test the circuit from the pedal to the bulbs.
Somewhere along the way, you will discover the fault.

My strong suspicion is that you will find it in the steering column and/or the turn-signal switch.

I don't believe so because I just put in a new turn signal switch and it has been working fine for awhile now. Also the turn signals and hazours work fine. So your saying just track the wires??
