Ok i have no break lights when my head lights are on, and one if lights are off.

the one light that works is the very bottom right red on passenger side.

now if i turn on head or running light i get the correct running lights, and i also get the brake light, on the passenger side bottom right red just comes on stays on......

my third break light is not working at all.

i took each bulb out cleaned with a brass brush all contacts, and the little white "poorly made" connector, saw a few bits of green, nothing real bad. the plastic copper ribbon that makes contact with the bulb holder is in good shape, i do not see any cracks or tears? i looked at fuses.

i looked at the brake peddle and i did not see the switch for the brake lights, where is it? is it higher up the peddle assembly?


My 740 is still down this is my only car at the moment!
Thanks
thanks wes
