All my tail lights work except my brake lights, checked the fuse and
bulbs... could it be the brake light switch? Where is this located and
how do I check if it is ok or not.


Thanks
Bojan

Brakes light circuitry usually is always HOT . ( nothing else needs to be 'on'
like the ign. switch ) so care must be used when jumping the switch closed
with a jumper wire. There is a fuse involed so find out from the owners manual
or the drawing / lawout for the fuses on or near fuses and check the fuse first..
If the fuse is good ( with it still out of the circuit ) place a jumper wire across the
brake switches two terminals then insert the fuse back into it's proper spot.
If the brake lights work , your problem is either the switch or it's adjustment -
pull that fuse again and remove that jumper , then replace fuse.
If the fuse was bad ( open ) replace it and push the pedal , the lights should come on.
There is a chance , though remote , there are other causes, but see how you do with
these suggestions.

Pull the switch and jumper the wires together.
