I assume you are wanting to install a brake controller. I will look for my cheat sheet today and if you will provide me your email address in a private message I will send you a copy of the brake control pre-wire harness location and wire identification.

Thanks. Eppsr@hotmail.com. I lost all brake lights but have lights, t-signals, e-flashers, etc. all fuses checked out.

Have you checked the fuses under the dash near the floor and on the firewall thru the front engine hood? Brake switch might be the last thing to check if the fuses are good and you have power feeding them. The info I have is a wiring harness that would be used to feed a brake controller with a wire from the cold side of the brake switch (sometimes a separate set of points than used for lights) to activate the brake controller. I will send it to you anyway; just in case it is something you can use now or in the future.

I have checked all those fuses. Thanks for the help. Scheduled into repair facility next week so if I can't find it they can work on it. Just try and do Minor things myself. Thanks again.

I am not an expert but it is a place to start. All of the brake switches I have ever seen are either a switch that is pushed in by the brake pedal itself or a pressure switch on the hydraulic cylinder. Have you checked those two places. And by the way the switch on the brake pedal inside under the dash is by far the most common

I was unable to locate any switch around the pedal. When you depress the pedal there is a sound like air brakes being activated. The switch on the hydraulic cylinder might make such a noise? When I get to the bottom I'll let you know.
