brake light switch a relay why all of a sudden to test the brake light switch disconnect the electrical connector from the switch and check for voltage on pin 6 of the connector. if voltage is present jumper pin 6 to pin 5. if the brake lights light up when you do that youve got a problem with the switch. if you dont have voltage on pin 6 then double-check your fuse. .
