From the factory, the brake light switch is screwed into the front of the master cylinder on all 64 model Fords. You just unplug the two wires from the top of it and unscrew the old one, screw in the new one, re-attache the wires and bleed the brakes.

Why won't your air cooled beetles brake lights work?

There are two possible reasons: the brake system needs bled the switches themselves are bad Volkswagen did something NO other car company would even dream of when they built the Bug--they used a pressure sensor screwed into a port on the master cylinder to turn the brake lights on. I absolutely hate this setup--it is almost guaranteed to make the brake lights not work, since the whole brake system has to be perfect if you want the brake lights to turn on. You will notice that VW doesn't use this scheme on its watercooled cars and with good reason. I like to buy a brake light switch off an American car, build a bracket to position the switch in front of the pedal arm, and use that to turn the brake lights on. It works much better than the VW death-trap. 2. Oh you of limited experience.... most if not all pre 1964 cars had brake fluid operated brake switches on the master cylinder or on a brake line. Depending whether you have a early,early VW with a single system brake or the later, after 1967, dual brake system, as to whether it's a death trap or not.... But do as in prior post , check for low fluid, requiring a system bleed. Bad brake light switch. Also check for corrosion on the brake light connectors on the master cylinder, this is a fairly common occurance. clean off corrosion and reinstall wire on switch.

Why do your taillights work but only one brake light works on a 1964 Chevy pickup?

Only one brake light workingTail light bulbs in the early automobiles, as in some today have two elements in them. One is for tail lights and one is for the brakes and turn signals. One element may burn out and the other will continue to work. Also possable but less common this bulb also has two contacts one for each element and sometimes those contacts may get corroded and lose contact. If neither of these items check out as the problem, using a 12v tester have someone step on the brakes and check for current in the wiring connecter. If there is no voltage there it could be a wiring problem or the turn signal switch could be bad. This year Chevrolet had the current go from the brake switch, to the turnsignal switch then to the rear of the car in a right and left wires.
