All My Lights Work Except Brake Lights
I have a 1985 gslse with no brake lights. Ive changes bulbs because they were bad... still no brake lights. Changes brake pedal switch... still no brake lights. Horn works, blinkers work. Running lights work, hazards work. Left blinker doesnt work due to bulb being broke (fixing today). Anything come to mind that would stop my brake lights from working?
Are my brake switch wires backwards?
Ground looks good
What is this bag?? Should it be empty?

On this relay the white wire with orange stripes has power when brake pedal is engaged. No other wires get power....
On the brake switch. The white wire with orange stripes has power when pedal is engaged. Green wire with white stripe and orange hashes has constant power.
Could this black thing (flasher) be the problem?

All the problems I had related to brake lights were around the pedal. First it was the little pin that turns the lights off when you release the pedal - I lost the rubber piece; second one, this month, was the relay having a bad contact due to lack of use that my car has.

Out of curiosity, do you have dash lights? When you turn the switch on, do the dash lights light up? If not, and you have no brake lights, your TNS relay may be bad. They do fail because they are up in front of the car exposed to the elements. It’s a KA32 relay. Blue in color. You may also check for any pinched wires near the clutch pedal. One of my gauge wires runs near there and I pinched it causing it to short the system sometimes it would blow a fuse and sometimes not. Good luck
