ok im having this same problem
soo is it the brake switch? and does that mean i need a new one or what??

[emt-z]

one should be the brake switch and the other is likely be the cruise switch. easy way to find it should be to unplug one at a time and check for your brake lights not working

found out its the brake switch..but now what? does that mean i need a new one?

Update: problem fixed

turns out it wasnt the brakelight switch on the pedal but the little plastic stopper that hits the switch when the pedal isnt depressed so i put in a screw in its place and put a nut with nylon on it problem solved thanks evildky!
