I have a 1979 F150. The turn signals on the back work fine, but the brake lights quit working. Does anyone have a idea to what could be the problem? Thanks

The brake switch is my thought. It could be out of adjustment or shot. Jumper it and see if it works. If not, you will need a meter to trace power and grounds (if it is not a fuse).
