Does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for a 1978 Camaro. I'm having trouble with my brake lights.

 

I might be able to dig one up, but its a simple system, what problem are you having?

 

The driver side won't work, it turns on when the cars running but when you press the brake it is suppose to get brighter indicating you braking, but it doesn't. Then I tried splicing the passenger side and feeding of that, but then the passenager side would stay on all the time and then the driver wouldn't come on at all.

I think it is deeper inside the car not by the brake light, just would like to know which wire is which, so I could figgure out what could be wrong.

 

Ok so I can get the brake light to work, but as soon as I turn on my headlights, and push the brake pedal the brake light doesn't work... Is there a short somewhere or what... Should I take it to a professional and have them look at it....?

 

sounds like it might be a bad ground at the tail lights

 

Definitely bad ground. Could be in the socket. I wouldn't expect the ground wire to be too long.

 

Ok I changed the ground I put in a new brake light switch. I now have a different problem, the brake lights won't turn on at all now, they light up when I turn on my headlights but when I press the brake pedel the brake lights won't work... now whats up

 

check to make sure you didn't pop the brake light fuse

 

I put in brand new fuses...
