I just replaced the brake light switch. now the engine wont kick over-you probably loosen a wiring connector while you replaced the brake switch check it-if not-do below
No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it |

Is it possible I disconnected something relating to the starter that would be next to the brake switch? |
