no brake lights.

Hey I have n/a fc 91.

I have no brake lights. Parking lights , interior lights okie, but when i step on the brakes the lights don't light up?. ??
- All the fuse are ok
- bulbs ok
- harness is plugged in

could it be the brake switch on the pedal? if so how do you remove it ? and test it ?

Yea, it's most likely the brake switch. Just buy a new one. There cheap enough. And btw, don't get it from Autozone. I've been through 3 of them already in the past year.

Pull the elect plug off the brake pedal. Jumper the plug with a piece of wire. The brake lights should light up. IF they do, it isn't the switch. It could be the CPU or bad fuse.

Series four wiring attached.

I agree that it's probably the switch, but you can check it out prior to buying a switch.
