'99 Sub brake switch prob.
My '99 Suburban has a problem with the brake light switch. It will make a clicking sound continuously and it eventually runs down the battery. I replaced it with a new one and the problem is still there. What could cause this and how do I fix it? Thanks.

Any suggestions? I've already replaced the switch. What else is there? I really can't see anything because of where it is. The steering column is in the way.

Those switches are a common problem, and the wiring to them as well. I had one on a '97 that would stop operating, and I could reach under, wiggle the wires until it worked, and it would stay working for a day or a week. Finally I replaced the switch but I really think the problem was the wiring that went to it. I'd suggest that when it's clicking you get under there, and without depressing the brake try to find a wire that's frayed or badly connected, move things around until it hopefully it stops. Also, is your cruise control working ok?
