I just replaced the brake light switch. Now the engine wont kick over, I checked the distributer and found that their is no spark. What would be causing that problem and how can I fix it.


thanks

I just replaced the brake light switch. Now the engine wont kick over-you probably loosen a wiring connector while you replaced the brake switch check it-if not-do below

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Is it possible I disconnected something relating to the starter that would be next to the brake switch?
