Put a test light or a an ohm meter between the two leads. Push in or out depending on what kind of brake switch you have. If the ohm meter shows continuity or the test light lights up the switch is all right.
check brake light fuse and brake light switch on pedal
Check the brake switch on the brake pedal, if the switch is bad or a fuse is blown, the shifter will not release.
Check the brake light fuse first. Then check for a bad brake light switch at the brake pedal.
If the brake light fuse is good and the brake light bulbs are good it's probably a faulty brake light switch.
Yes there is a fuse for your brake lights. Check your fuse box. It should be marked. If the fuse is ok then check the switch. It could be a bad switch or ground.
check the wires at brake light switch on brake pedal they are bad about breaking brake light switch
check brake light switch on brake pedal maybe getting bad
Shouldn't have anything to do with it. The brake lights are on a completely different circuit than the headlights. If your brake lights are not working check the switch on the brake pedal. Before you do that check the fuse first. If the fuse is all right it is probably the brake light switch which is bad. Check the bulbs to see if they are burned out. If you can't tell, replace them anyway. If the Brake switch is good and the fuse is good, you may have a loose wire, or a bad wire.
If you're positive it's not the bulbs (you know this because you checked them with a meter or tested the outlet with a test light maybe) or switch, check it out for a bad ground.
Check bulbs, fuse, bad ground, brake light switch.
it could be a combination of things like a blown fuse or a bad bulb or your brake switch on the top of your brake pedal could be bad, check and replace if you have to.
Check your fuse, bulbs and the probable culprit the brake switch attached to the brake pedal. Mine were completely out on a 91 Town car and it was a bad switch. I hope this helps you.
