Where is the brake light switch located under the dash? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 | It's not under the dash. It's on the engine-side of the firewall, but the two mounting screws are inserted from the interior side of the toe panel.

Thank you for the help | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 126 | Does anyone have suggestions on testing the switch? Other than seeing if power is getting to it? I assume if it does then the switch is bad. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Connect the leads of a multi-meter, set on the 20 ohm scale, to the lugs on the switch. In the brakes-not-applied position you should show a "1" on the meter which means an open circuit, no juice flowing. Then move the lever to the "on" position and the gauge should show "0" if it's good. If it still shows a "1" the switch is bad.

If your brake lights come on, the switch is bad.,,,,,Very simple. | | |
