Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
Power comes from the fusebox to the brakelight switch. It then goes from the switch to the turn signal switch. Then it goes out the firewall near the gas pedal and down to the frame.

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
There is a brake light fuse. If you have no power to the switch, you need to check the fuse first.

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
I have a Painless harness as well and I didn't have that problem. I would check the fuses as stated above. I'm assuming you tested the wires to be sure if there is power or not. Are you sure your brake switch is good?

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
Do the turn signals work? (Probably not). If memory serves, power comes from fuse box, to column, through turn signals and hazard, to brake switch, to brake lights.

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
The wires that go under the floor mat go to the fuel sending unit and the dome lamp.

Re: How does power get to the brake light switch?
I just checked my fuse box. The brake fuse on mine is labeled as "Stop", so yours should be the same. I would assume Painless labels everything the same, but sometimes you never w/ some companies.
