In lieu of a better answer, the switches are on the side of the master
cylinder in the speedo housing.  There are two, simply for the sake of
redundancy.  When the second one fails, you have no brake lights.  Other
possibilities exist, but you'll have to get those elsewhere than from me.

|I have no brake lights. I checked the fuse and the bulbs. Both good.
|What next? I looked in my Haynes and Bentley and no information on how the
|brake lights work other than a wiring diagram showing a 'switch'.
