2003 duramax no brake lights

I have a test light. Does the ignition need to be on to test?
no the brakes are hot at all times, If the orange wire does not light the test light turn key on, prove orange is hot. then switch test lamp to white wire push pedal, light should light. if not switch is bad, or your ground for test light isn't good.
Orange: lights up
White: lights up when pedal is pressed.
Brake lights work when pressed and work with trailer brake hooked up and disconnected.

It fixed itself! Yay!
Those brake switches can be very intermittent. The problem will most likely come back.
To remove it, iirc, you remove a clip from the brake pushrod and then kinda rotate the switch around and off of the pin. It's not hard to do, but definitely not fun either.
Also, there are two versions of that switch. They are essentially identical, but opposite of each other. One has an all-white casing, the other has a white and black casing. Make sure the parts store gives you the right one.

Thing is acting up again. If I manually push the trailer brake, the lights work. But they're intermittent with it plugged in and taken out.
Which one do I get?

Are your pedals adjustable by a switch?
I don't think so...
Then you got your answer
See how your original one has a black and also a white case half? Get the one that is black and white, listed as "without power adjustable pedals".
That's what I figured I juts wanted to make sure
Ok installed new one this morning, seems ok for now. Clip was checked with the utmost of ocd to make it doesn't come off
The old one didn't look corroded or bad but. A new one is on now
