Default brake lights

So this is not good, luckily gracefully i noticed none of the brake lights were coming on all of a sudden, also don't have any response from Horn or Cruise, I checked fuses, and then stuck a paperclip into two of the four connections to the brake light Switch and they came on, but replaced the Switch and still nothing.

Double check the fuses, common fuse for the horn and brakes is in the under hood fuse panel....20amp #41 (according to the manaul I have).

Awesome yes it was that fuse, must have overlooked it. Horn and brake lights work, now just the Cruise, green light doesn't come on, checked that fuse by the pedals, hmm..

Well still trying to figure out the Cruise, just had it working, maybe if I bridge the wires from the push botton part on the dash it'll work telling me that's bad..

Check the switch adjustment. If you messed with it (said you replaced it) then it may not be seating off all the way. Remember the brake switch has two positions, one will close off/turn off the brake light but the other is for the cruise....you can check for continuity on the wires when the pedal is not "pushed" to be sure.
