brake light switch :(

man, i am so close to getting my car done and was checking all my lights and... NO brake lights! so i guess i'll be doing that today. already checked and have power to the switch itself, just nothing on the other side when i hit brakes, tail or hatch light. oh well - guess i know better now than to close up all the panels before i check everything, huh?

I am using a hotrod harness so it is wired differently. I used a Painless brake switch and screwed it into my linelock and ran the wires to it. Easy and clean. Hope this helps, but if you are all stock I guess it wouldn't.

yea, i'm pretty much stock... i was just venting for the heck of it anyways. switch is already swapped out, piece of cake. that was probably my fault that it went bad, tho. i was doing some re-routing and cleaning up of the alarm system, and things just got jammed together and the switch was cocked in there. probably woulda' still worked, but put the new one in anyways. it's all better now, though...
