Brake lights

[iamfine2]

All of my outside lights work, blinkers work, hazards work. Fuse is good.
But my brake lights don't work.
Before I go for the switch, are there any suggestions?
Do the inside rear lamps with the reverse lights stay on when I hve the marker lamps on?
Should I check those bulbs?

Why waste time looking for other things? Check the switch by touching the two leads together and see if the lights go on.
The inside lights are brake lights.

What leads are you taling about?
under the dash or at the tail lights?

At the switch on the brake pedal linkage under the dash.

...The inside lights are brake lights....

Outside lights are brake lights; inside lights are backup and reflectors unless you have made the bubble tail light conversion.

Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal under the dash. Also check the bulbs for the correct number. They should be double filament.

Check the switch under the dash (white push button looking thing) it should be pressing against the little metal arm attached to the brake pedal assembly. Mine was not sitting right against the arm and the brakelights were always on.
Push the button in and have someone check to see if the lights turn on. If not, use a circuit tester to see if you are getting power in and out of the switch (a simple bulb type tester is sufficient). If you get no response out of the switch it's probably bad. You may also want to make sure the switch button comes out fully (pushed in the lights turn off, fully released the brakelights are on)
