Eagle Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 The brake lights are activated by a mechanical switch in the brake peddle arm mechanism. Look under the dashboard and see if the switch is positioned so that depressing the peddle allows the plunger to come out of the switch body. You may just need to adjust the switch position, or you may need to replace the switch. You can test the wiring to the switch by unplugging them and using a jumper (or a paper clip) to close the circuit. If the brake lights don't work when the switch contacts are jumpered, then the problem is in the wiring harness rather than at the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
