It worked for a few months then it stopped. I replaced it with an aftermarket pedal but that doesn't work either. I checked the wiring in the pedals and drumset but nothing obvious is wrong.
First of all, you need to know are you using the right bass for the right guitar because most of the bass pedals are designed for specific purpose and guitars. Here is a complete guide https://www.sound-beat.com/bass-pedals-effects/ about the best bass pedals, their use, customization and effects. Hopefully, with the help of this article, you would able to know the exact reason due to which your bass pedal is not working.

you replaced brake light sensor, not switch. Did you recalibrate it ?
Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration Description and Operation
Calibration Criteria
Brake pedal position sensor calibration must be preformed after the brake pedal position sensor or electronic brake control module (EBCM) have been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the brake pedal position sensor "home" value. This value is used by the EBCM to determine the action of the driver applying the brake system and to provide this information to the vehicle subsystems via the class II communication bus.
Calibration Procedure
• Install a scan tool.
• Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
• Select Chassis.
• Select DRP/ABS/TCS/VSES.
• Select Special Functions.
• Select the BPP Sensor Calibration and follow the directions displayed on the screen.
Stop Lamps
The brake pedal position sensor is a resistive device used to sense the action of the driver's application of the brake pedal. The brake pedal position sensor provides an analog signal that will increase as the brake pedal is pressed.
The brake pedal position sensor receives both a 5-volt reference voltage and a low reference signal from the electronic brake control module (EBCM). When the brake pedal is pressed, a variable signal is applied from the brake pedal position sensor to the EBCM through the brake sensor signal circuit. The fuse block left rear supplies battery positive voltage to the bass relay switch through the BASS fuse. One side of the bass relay coil is permanently grounded at G402. The EBCM supplies voltage to the bass relay coil upon receiving the signal from the brake pedal position sensor. The switch contacts of the bass relay close and battery positive voltage is applied through the bass relay switch to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL), and to the turn signal/hazard flasher module through the stop lamp switch signal circuit. The ground for the CHMSL is applied from G402. The turn signal/hazard flasher module then supplies voltage to the left and right stop lamps in the tail lamp assemblies that have ground at G401 and G402. For export vehicles the stop lamps receive battery positive voltage directly from the bass relay.
your best bet, have a qualified repair shop check it.
Is the EBCM energizing the BAS relay to turn on the brake lights ?

Did you have a qualified repair shop check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes ?
DTC B3903 Stop Lamp Relay Circuit
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies voltage to the BASS relay coil side voltage supply circuit when the stop lamps are active. The coil side control circuit of the BASS relay is permanently grounded at G402.
DTC C0278 Brake Pedal Position Sensor Not Calibrated
The brake pedal position sensor (BPP) is a potentiometer. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) supplies a 5-volt reference circuit and low reference circuit to the BPP sensor. The BPP sensor signal circuit is a direct input to the EBCM. The EBCM determines the BPP based on the voltage from the BPP sensor. The EBCM converts the BPP sensor feed back voltage to a digital signal and puts it on the class 2 communication bus.
DTC C0282 Brake Pedal Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
DTC C0283 Brake Pedal Position Sensor Circuit Low
DTC C0284 Brake Pedal Position Sensor Circuit High
DTC C0880 Device Voltage Reference Output 2 Circuit
Without knowing if any of these DTC'S are stored do not know what diagnostic direction to point you in .

Do you know where the rear fuse box is ? Check BAS fuse 15amp. and the bas relay , should be marked on the inside of the fuse box lid . The rear fuse box is located

If fuse and relay are ok your best would be to take to a cadillac dealer .
Kevin , this is a very complex way of stoplamp control , I will post GM service Description and Operation of how they work an let you deside if you want to tackle this ! Do the center high mount brake lights work ?

There could be a code stored in the EBCM - electronic brake control module - DTC B3903 Stop Lamp Relay Circuit
DTC C0278 Brake Pedal Position Sensor Not Calibrated
there are several other codes that pertane to the brake lights . you could try Replaceing the bas relay !

Hey. I have two PS210's One popped and stopped working 9 months in to it. Under warranty the technician said that Infinity produced these speakers wit ha known heat related problem. Some part burns up. He replaces them all the time. You can expect about a year's service as my seconf one just popped and died. It costs about $153 to fix it here in phoenix. Will never buy Infinity again from what I know
