    BRAKE light switches are almost always under the dash, in front of or behind the brake pedal arm. Some push in, some allow the switch to drop as the pedal is depressed. Look for a small switch with a couple of wires. How do you now it's the switch if you haven't tested it?

    On every car I have ever looked at... its usually at the top end of the brake pedal arm... up near the steering column. Can be black plastic but is usually whaite and will have a couple wires coming from it. You can see where the brake pedal arm contacts it if you look with a flashlight.

    The brake switch is located near the top of the brake pedal. Unplug the 2-wire connector, remove the retaining clip and nylon washer, then slide the booster pushrod off the pedal pin just enough to allow switch removal.
