1997 brake issue, which switch?
 

I have read and found the problem but confused as to which switch needs replacing. 3rd brake light works, other 2 do not work unless you toggle the signal arm.
So is it the multifunction switch that needs replacing? Is that the only part it could be? Is this the part that includes the arm, controls for cruise control, turn signals etc? Where can I buy this part online?

most likely the multi switch, do you have an auto parts store nearby... Advance Auto, Napa etc......or you can get it online.

We are somewhat limited on auto parts stores. So I have been searching online. But havent been able to find the right one for my car. Anyone have a link or parts number?

LS or Z34 model?

It is the LS

it should be one of these from Napa online? With or without steering wheel audio controls..... I hope that helps....

Thanks! I wasnt sure if this was the part, or the ones I have seen that have the whole lever with it.
