I bought this car recently and it has a toggle switch put in it to make the brake lights work. The previous owner said he would fix it that following week but I never heard from him again and I am not sure where to go from here to get them working with my actual brake pedal. Any advice besides im not smart for buying this car would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ashley

At your brake pedal disconnect the wire behind it and put a jumper wire on it-did the brake lights work-let me know

Also check brake light fuse as well, but often it can be a failed brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal.
