Once you get to the switches, I would suggest unplugging them one at a
time and then putting a jumper wire to complete the circuit and then see
it the lights work.  If they work then you know there is something wrong
with the switches.  If your lights don't work with the jumper, then
start looking at your wiring for problems.

Subject: Brake Light Switch

My brake lights wont come on. The bulbs are fine and I've replaced the
fuse. 

I see from the big green book there are two brake light switches.
Someone here said they are hydraulic. My fluid level is fine. Brakes are
working fine. 

So I think the big green books picture was referencing the brake fluid
area in the dash under the cover. 

But in looking at it, I'm not sure what the best way is to get to the
brake light switches (from the top or do I remove the streering wheel
column cover?), and will I have to remove the fluid to remove the
switches?
