Default Brake Lights out - left, right, center

But driving and turn work fine. Sounds like a global issue??? Like a fuse (which one, where...see no fuse named "brake lights" and brake switch fuse OK) or brake light switch under the pedal???

Anyone experience this?

Check the brake switch on the brake pedal arm. May need adjusting, or replacing.

The fuse may be labeled as "stop". Usually if the switch is misadjusted the brake lights stay on.

Default The Switch

Yes, it was the switch...but worse then that...it was a sorta corroded plug on 2 of the pins…not really the switch, just the connection. Replaced it anyway and used some dielectric(sp) goo.

Oh, by "worse" I mean...I could have just cleaned up the original,,,but hey, its so cheap to replace...
