Brake Lights Out
« on: July 25, 2011, 19:52:10 »
Hi-

Any expertise would be greatly appreciated. Any advice for a 1970 (later style tail lights). All tail lights work, except both brake lights.

Many thanks

The brake lights get power from fuse no 5.  The turn signals also get power from this fuse so I assume the fuse is good since you say the turn signals work.  This would indicate a problem with the brake light switch.  If you follow the brake pedal arm up under the dash board you should find a switch that closes when the brake pedal is depressed.  I'd start there and see if the switch is broken and not coming in contact with the brake pedal.
