No brake lights or reverse lights
 

okie more problems to keep me busy and a fix it ticket waiting to happen,

brake lights won't light up when i step on the brake... some say it might be the switch. or the harness.



and the reverse lights don't come on when its in reverse.. i cleaned and check the harness on the tranny and its plugged in...

bulbs and fuses are okay on both..

Not sure on the reverse lights, but the brake lights sounds like the switch. I had the same problem with my 83 several years back. Changed the switch, no problem.
Good luck.

so it won't matter what switch I buy cruise control or not?

I wouldn't think so. Not completely sure on an FC.

n/m forget about cruise control i bought the non cruise switch from mazdatrix. im driving at night with no brake lights.. thats a ticket waiting to happen.. gee

Are you sure you have the reverse lights and the 5th gear switch going to the right connectors? They're both 1 wire connectors that are very similar.

lol there picky connections! lol like just now i put the car in reverse and the lights came on ??!! i bought a new brake switch and i put it in and my brake lights aren't coming on! gee i thought this would be the solution.. mmm

LOL noobie ! i disconnected the battery for a min and reconnected it and tighten it back down. jumped in the car and stepped on the the brake! lights came on. Thanks everyone for your help
