Re: Brake lights???? Reply #1 – May 28, 2005, 09:36:24 PM Check the wiring harness going to the brake light switch, under the dash. A common problem in these cars is for the wires to break off due to metal fatigue from years of moving back & forth every time you step on the brake pedal. Quote Selected
