Replacing the brake light switch is a difficult process due to working in a very confined space. Before attempting to replace the switch, check the fuse in the fuse box on the end of the dashboard then the fuse and the relay in the relay box under the hood. If all these are good, then the problem is probably related to the switch.
The brake light switch is located above the steering column. There is a circular retainer that holds it to the shaft. There is a split in the retainer that must be opened in order to remove the retainer. Use a long, thin screwdriver to spread one side then the other. This will bend the retainer enough that it will pop off. Rotate the switch to disengage it from the rod and slide it off the shaft. Use a screwdriver to depress the electrical connector lock and unplug the connector. Replacing the switch is the opposite of the removal operation.
