NO BRAKE LIGHTS!! 99 Legacy/Brighton


Recommended Posts

I have no brake lights! I do have tail lights, however. I started with checking and replacing the bulbs(all of them) still nothing. I seem to be getting power to the bulb. Is there a brake light switch somewhere? I have checked all the fuses, (all good.) where is the brake light switch and how do I tell if it is faulty? Any one have any suggestions? My wife can't be driving around with out brake lights!

It's hard to see if a switch is good just by looking at it. About the only thing you can do is make sure the plug is connected tight. Further testing with a VOM would be needed to determine if the switch is bad.

If you have a VOM test for continuity across the switch when it is actuated. You can also feed 12v to the switch and check for voltage when actuated.

 

If you don't have a VOM, get a short section of wire or even a large paper clip might work, and jump the two pins on the switch and see if the lights come on.
