Electrical problem
1997 Volvo 960

I just noticed that my brake lights are not working. I checked the bulbs, and they are fine, all the fuses are fine, my blinkers work, but my brake lights still are not working. What could I do to fix it?

the most logical place to start looking would be the brake light switch on the brake pedal arm. I can be tested with a 12 volt light tester. When the pedal is depressed, it should have 12 volts coming from one of the wires, and constant 12 volts coming from the other wire.
