Hi all, new owner of a 1968 mustang Coupe with 289. I'm having an issue where my brake lights aren't coming on. I checked the Brake Light switch at the peddle and it has power. I can confirm the running lights work with the headlights on. Also my right blinker works but not the left (suspect wiring issue).
What should I be looking for? Should I start by replacing the switch in case its bad?

Turn signal switch usually causes a lot of issues . For the brake lights ,if you have power at the switch but not at the lights it may be the switch on the pedal . Un plug the switch and jump the wires ans see if the lights come on ,if they do it is the pedal switch

Sorry for slow reply. Took while for part to come. Replacing Turn signal switch corrected brake light and left turn signal not working.
