I have read many post on electrical issues regarding tail lights and brakes light. I am by no means an expert. Probably more dangerous than good. Here is my issue. I have cleaned all connections, fuses, connectors, etc. I have tail lights and I have left and right turn signals working in both the front and back. I have installed a new turn signal switch and turn signal flasher (we) I have a new master cylinder and switch and I believe I have bled all the air out of the system, but when I press the pedal I have no brake lights.
Can someone make a suggestion as to what I should do next. Thank you all in advance. |

Check for power. You should have full battery voltage at one wire, with the key in the run position.
If so, attach a jumper wire to bridge the two wires together and see if the lights come on.

How about power to the brake light switch, and with the brakes on, test the switch. Power from there goes straight to the turn signal switch.
