The brake light switch is located along the arm of the brake pedal and is attached to a bracket near the power brake booster mount. When the brake pedal is applied, the pedal arm moves away from the switch and a spring-loaded plunger closes the circuit to the brake lights. Models equipped with cruise control use a dual-purpose brake light switch that also deactivates the cruise control system when the brake pedal is depressed. To troubleshoot, check the brake light fuse and replace if necessary. Verify voltage to the switch and repair any open or short in the power wire. If the brake lights still don't come on, test for continuity between the switch terminals when the brake pedal is applied and replace the switch if continuity is not detected. If there is continuity but the brake lights still don't come on, check for power to the brake light bulb sockets and replace the bulbs if voltage is present. If voltage is not available, check the wiring between the switch and the brake lights for an open circuit and repair as necessary. To replace the switch, disconnect the negative battery cable, rotate the switch counterclockwise to remove it from the mounting bracket, unplug the electrical connector, and discard the old switch. Pull the plunger out on the new switch, depress the brake pedal, and install the switch into the bracket by aligning the slots and rotating it clockwise. Release the brake pedal to ensure it is seated properly and plug in the electrical connector. Reconnect the battery and test the brake lights for proper operation.
