I have a 78 cutlass supreme and my brake lights don't come on when pushing on the pedal. They work when I turn on the hazards, and I've checked all the fuses and changed the stop light switch any other suggestions?

Hello, did you check for voltage going to the brake switch? Orange wire, should be hot all the time. When the brake switch is activated, the white wire goes hot, runs to the turn signal switch. I believe your brake lites and turn signal use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. You may have to look at the turn switch.
