Brake Lights and Turn Signals

[senatorwoodhouse]

So I knew that my turn signals didn't work, but one of my friends was backing my 81 k5 out of the driveway the today and I noticed that I have no brake lights. I have had this problem with older k5's that the button thta is actuated by the pedal gets pushed over. But upon searching for this easy fix I was dissapointed to find no such luck. Are the brake lights operated by a pressure switch? If so where would this unit be located? Anyone else had problems like these?

Oh yeah I also might want to put in the obvious...the bulbs are ok

The switch on the pedal is the only switch. Might want to check your ground at the back end behind the housing.

I had the same problem on both of my K5's 77 & 87 . turned out to be melted wires, drivers side frame rail between the rear tire and the bumper.

Just the stupid button got pushed back away from the pedal. That stupid thing is waaaaaaaaay up the pedal. what a pain to bend back. Thanks for the help everybody.
