My break lights don't work.
Turn signals, 4 ways, driving, reverse all work.
I replaced the switch. No difference.
In the past I heard the switch click as I depressed the break pedal. Not now.

Any ideas?
 
Get a circuit tester or a volt meter and go from there. obviously there is not voltage at the back end. so check right after switch.
 
Unplug the wire harness from the switch. Take a short piece of wire or a paper clip and short circuit the two terminals. If the brake lights light up, the switch is bad.
 
No BRAKE lights,,,,,,

Have you checked the brake light switch under the dash ? When you hit the brake pedal you allow the switch to make connection and thereby turning on brake lights. You can put a jumper wire between the 2 contacts and they should come on.

Just in case you didnt get it fixed yet, I thought I would respond.
