Question
I have a 2001 Z24 cavalier and the brake lights are not working. I have tried replacing the bulbs and have replaced the sockets for the brake light bulbs. I have also tried replacing the brake stop sensor under the brake pedal. Please if you have any other ideas for me to try i would greatly appreciate your help.  

                                  Thanks, Dia


Answer
THIS MIGHT SOUND FUNNY BUT DID YOU CHECK THE FUSES ? CHECK ALL OF THEM. ALSO WITH A TEST LIGHT SEE IF YOU ARE GETTING JUICE TO THE REAR LIGHTA WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PUSHED DOWN.
SOUNDS TO ME AS YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY JUICE AT ALL BACK THERE  AS ON ALL OF THE NEW CARS YOU MIGHT HAVE A SECOND SENSOR OR RELAY SOMEPLACE  BUT YOU MUST GET THE JUICE BACK THERE. OK
