Bummer that this is my first post, but I want to get this thing on the road. I bought the car yesterday, and realized after the purchase it had no brake lights. I have no reason to believe the seller messed with it, and it was inspected in August, so I have to assume they were working then. The running lights come on with the headlights, so the bulbs should be ok.

Assuming the fuse is working (haven't put a mm on it, but visually it was ok), I would next try the Stop Light Switch, which is shown to be on the top of the brake pedal mechanism.

The question: How the heck do you get to it? I'm not exactly a small guy with small arms, so feeling my way up the pedal arm didn't get me very far. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
