Are there any known problems with ours break lights? The tail lights come on like they always do, but when i hit the breaks they don't get any brighter... any ideas?

 

I wouldn't think that both your brakelight filiments burnt out at the same time so, the next culprit would be your brake switch.
Over the course of time the contacts wear out or, in the case of my camar, the button just sticks and doesn't pop out when you press the brake pedal.
The switch it locatd at the top of the brake pedal on the mount.

 

thanks for the clue, any idea how much one of those things run? and i'm guessing its a dealer part.? thanks again for the tip, now to find that 9mm nut driver

 

nm about those last 2 questions, some how the plug backed off the switch. just snuged them togeather and it works now. love those easy fixes
