brake switch is located on master cylinder behind front off side wheel. Check current into switch (with ignition on) and current out when brake pedal depressed. for more vw aircooled answers email strevslondonataoldot com
brake switch ???
fuse, bulbs
Most likely no brake lights would be due to a faulty switch on the brake pedal or a bad fuse.

Blown fuse or bad brake light switch?
Probably the rubber bumper/stopper which depresses the brake switch is gone/disintegrated. Check beneath the brake pad for broken pieces. Without this piece in place, the switch is always closed and therefore powered to light up the lights.
brake light switch would be most common cause
check the fuse for the brake lights, they have thier own. also check the brake light switch at the at the top of the brake petal
The BOO (Brake On/Off) Switch may need to be replaced. If it is bad, it would cause the brake lights to NOT illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.
