I have recently "inherited" a 1995 Chevy Cavalier. The exterior is in good shape, and the car seems to be in okay running condition. I did have a tune-up done; as well as had the brakes replaced. Just recently (about a week ago), someone told me that I didn't have any rear blinkers. The front one's worked fine. I had a friend look at the car, and of course he checked all of the bulbs and fuses. He ultimately changed a fuse in the box under the hood. Following that, all four blinkers work...BUT, now I have no brake lights...NONE. I have to drive around with my lights on during the day to give the "illusion" that I have brake lights. The guy at the local auto part store said that I might want to have the brake switch checked out. Any idea what this problem could be?

HI there,

i would be checking the brake light switch, it will be located at the top of the brake pedal, also check that the fuse is ok and the globes are not blown as well.
