Hello,

Ok, are all the brake lights out? If so and since you have checked the fuse and the bulbs then the other part that needs checked is the Brake Light Switch, it is located near on the brake pedal about half way up or so.

Allrighty Beth,

I do not know much about your rig, I've spent 10 minutes looking for a Pic or even a possible fix for you.

Imma CJ Guy and know them really well, so in order to maybe get you fixed soon:

See if this is plugged in well----or even the whole assembly may have come loose and not pushing in the button fully....Or it could be just "PLAIN BROKE"

It should be somewhere on the upper end of your brake pedal...Remember I do not know your rig well!

Here the link of what you might be searching for---I could only plug in the info (YOU) provided...I guessed at some of it-----You might wanna go back and plug it in correctly for your vehicle, to insure you "SEE" the right one.

Should be inexpensive, if you gotta have it

Let me know whats-a-happening!

Merry Christmas!....My present to you!
