i have no breaklights on my 1985 .....
iv checked for power at the switch plug by running a tester to it and ground and unplugging it ......it has power when the key is on...none when its off, but if i turn key off n switch my tester to power the plug has ground.......

the actual mechanical switch seems to b working fine, i put power to it with the pedal at rest n the cicuit was broken...i depressed the pedal and the circuit closed (test light came on)

now im going back out to to mess with the tail lights themselves....the breaklight bulbs look fine. 7056 i think they are. so im going to try to figure out what is what on the plug that plugs into the tail light n c if i get power back to it when the break is depressed......

this is my only vehicle at the moment so i kinda got to hustle n get this working tonight ......
