Brake lights not working when hitting pedal
So I noticed the other day that my brake lights weren't working when I was working on bleeding the brakes. They just stopped ever since I re-did all of the rear brake lines but were working fine before that. I read a few threads on here and thought my half *** trailer wiring that the PO put on was the problem but I removed that and still no lights?
My running lights when I have the headlights on and blinkers still work though.

check for voltage at the switch behind the pedal. it works as this, push the pedal in little red swtich goes in completes the circut brake light come on. not sure on a jeep if its red but same idea.

check the switch position seems like mine had come out of the bracket once when i was running some wires perhaps all that pumping on the pedal knocked it loose, i think all you have to do to see it is just look up above the brake pedal arm
