are you mechanically inclined/have the right tools?: Yes
Issue(s): just bought this car and everything runs perfect on it, until now my brake lights are all out. Ive checked fuses and all bulbs are all are ok.

Now the only other thing i could think of was the stoplight switch, i go to look and see a loos wire and a ( what seems do look like) vacume hose. Now looking at the part onlne the loose wire harness is an exact match, ive looked all over and cant not find
the damn switch! ive obv tried manuals and goodle to with no help. Anyone have anything to help me fine this SOB...

Thanks

you need the brake light switch? or you are trying to locate the switch in your car?

i cant find it in the car i know its most likey the bl switch just want to make sure that that loose wire isnt the cause as the connection match perfectly with the oem replacement switch,

but i followed all the way up and behind the brake pedal and shaft and seen nothing i seen a few diagrams but didnt help lol


gotta love my massive typos.. lack of sleep and frustration lol

Bump where the hell is this switch lol

It should be at the top of the brake pedal assembly somewhere. The movement of the pedal pushes that little round contact point somehow.

yeah i cant see it anywhere lol
