Art,

The brake light switch is on the front right side of the frame mounted on the
main brake line junction. Look directly between the carburators towards the
frame and there she is. The switch will face the front of the car. Two wires
one green and the other green with purple.  Check voltage continuity, fuse,
connections first before replacing switch. I have never heard of one going bad.
Remember turn on your ignition switch!!
