Problem overview

Some GMC Sonoma owners report experiencing issues with multiple lights, including the driver side brake, blinker, reverse lights, and emergency flasher not functioning properly. These problems may manifest as fast blinking turn signals, which can indicate a faulty bulb. Additionally, if the tail lights are not working and the blinkers are blinking slowly, it could point to issues with the brake light switch, wiring harness, or frayed wiring. In cases where no brake lights illuminate, owners may face problems with the wiring harness connecting the brake switch to the bulbs, such as frayed wiring or grounding issues. Furthermore, the emergency flasher switch and turn signal circuit may also be responsible if power reaches the switch but the lights do not activate. A blown fuse could also be a culprit, so checking the brake light fuse and ensuring power to the brake light switch is advisable. It is recommended for owners to systematically check these components to diagnose and resolve the specific causes of the malfunctioning lights.
