Brake lights not working, bulbs are all good, not sure how to test the brake switch under the brake pedal. Fuses are all fine

There are a number of things that could be the issue, but the brake switch is the likely cause of this.

So, we need to simply jump the switch and see the lights come on.

Here are a couple of guides that will help with this:

I am attaching the wiring diagram below for this as well. You should have 2 wires on the brake switch so just connect them with a jumper wire and let me know what you find with this, and we can go from there.

Thanks
