Chevrolet Colorado brake lights not functioning after replacing sensor under pedal on Chevrolet Colorado

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Colorado owners report experiencing issues with brake lights not functioning after replacing the sensor under the pedal. These problems can occur due to a faulty brake pedal position sensor or a malfunctioning brake light switch, which may cause the brake lights to stay on continuously or not work at all. Additionally, owners may find that even after replacing the sensor, the brake lamp switch should be checked, as it is a common culprit for brake light issues. It is also important to ensure that the brake light bulbs are in good condition and that power is reaching the brake light socket when the pedal is depressed. In cases where none of the brake lights are operational, tracing the circuit from the fuse box to the brake pedal can help identify where the power is failing. Furthermore, some newer models may have a brake light switch circuit connected to the body control module (BCM), which could also be a potential point of failure.
