Rear Blinkers work, tails and brakes don't?

[Dukedude0017]

Any reasons for this to happen? I changed all the bulbs already.. I'm not too great mechanically but any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What year is your car?

[Dukedude0017]

87, I saw you mentioned a diode pack or something in another thread, how do you locate that?

[StereoInstaller1]

The diode pack is basically just in front of the antenna...small black box with 2 plugs, screwed to the same place as the factory amp.

[Dukedude0017]

That it?

[Dukedude0017]

ps sorry for it being ridiculously big it's a cell phone pic

[StereoInstaller1]

You got it!

[Dukedude0017]

Okay, that wasn't plugged in and I had two spare wires in there plugged into nothing that i think were from the factory amp.. But when I plugged that Diode thing my rear lights now work, but brakes don't..

There is a switch on the brake pedal stem that shorts when you press the brakes, which turns on the brake lights. Check if it's operational.

[Dukedude0017]

If the 3rd one in the window works, the switch works, correct?

[kronus]

Yes. That is odd..

[Dukedude0017]

Could that diode pack be broken somehow?

dang. pulled that thing out thinking it was part of the factory amp, was wondering why my brakes werent working!
