Default NO BRAKE lights

No brake lights - none of the three. No cruise control. Turn signals work.


From what I read in the forums it sounds like this must be the brake light switch on the pedal as the fuse is the same for the brake lights and the turn signals.


Is there a way to test the brake light switch once it is removed to confirm it has failed?

Switch was faulty and the third eye brake lamp was burnt out. The socket for this lamp was melted a bit, but still serviceable. I would like to get a replacement, but cannot seem to find the OEM part number. Local NAPA, O'Reilly, etc., do not seem to have a stock number for it. Google search returns a lot of non-matching parts.


Anyone have the OEM part number for the High Mount Brake Lamp Socket?
(same as cargo lamp socket, I believe).


Thanks.

Just need the lamp holder with the two wire pigtail. The remainder of the assembly including the lens, housing, and cargo lamps are fine.

For that, a junkyard would be your best bet, as I don't think you can get just the bulb holder for the third brake light.
