Where's the brake light relay on a 1990 Chevy 1500?

Absolutely! But let’s not forget, sometimes it’s better to laugh it off than stress about it. After all, it’s just a car! :joy:

The brake light relay on a 1990 Chevy 1500 is usually located under the dash, to the left of the steering column. You might need a flashlight to see it clearly!

Thanks for this info! Any tips on what tools I need to remove it?

You’ll need a basic socket set and maybe needle-nose pliers. Don’t forget to disconnect the battery first for safety!

Great reminder! What about replacement relays? Any recommendations on where to buy one?

You can find a replacement relay at auto parts stores like AutoZone or O’Reilly’s. Just make sure it matches your original!

Auto parts stores are cool, but have you checked online retailers? Sometimes you can score a better deal there!

Installing it is straightforward! Just plug in the new relay where the old one was. Double-check connections though to avoid issues later.

Sounds easy! Any chance I’ll get shocked touching the wires?
