    Brake lights don't work, checked pedal switch.

    What do I do now? I'm not great with wiring. The running lights illuminate when i pull the headlight switch, but when i push the brake pedal I'm not getting anything. Where do i go from here, haynes manual useless.

    Also just checked cruise control doesn't work as well. When i checked the switch the car was off does that matter?

            Better?
            And also for your brakes it could be your brake switch sensor that has gone bad and doesn't read when you push the pedal. But look for blown fuses and see if that helps.

              Sorry bout the pic, I could read it fine on my phone, but yea, brake lights and cruise are the same fuse, most likely your problem.
