Brake Lights Failure.

[xavi]

Hello Guys,
Need help. VW Transporter Caravelle Bus version. 1987 model. Both the brake lights does not work. I have changed the bulbs, fuse is OK.
I tried to locate the brake switch under the brake pedal but couldn´t see one. All the other lights works fine.
Any suggestion?
Would appreciate your help.
Kind regards

The brake light switch is attached to the master cylinder, and may fail.

Thanks for a quick response.
How do you rectify this?
Is it a difficult job? Do I need to approach a workshop?

it´s nr 4 that´s the switch
When you have found it, lose the cabels and connect them together and check thats the light are lithning. If so then change the braker.
Not so big deal to change, get a new switch, unlose the old one but not complete. Put a lots of traces in under to catch the oil. Get the new one ready and unlose the old one and put in the new one quick as d..... Ready
