I have a '92 CX hatch.

My brake lights don't light up when I press the pedal. I checked the fuse first, the fuse is just fine. I checked the bulbs, the bulbs are just fine. My next logical check would be the brake light switch, I'd assume. The problem I'm having is, the brake light switch is in a pretty difficult place to reach, behind the steering column above the brake pedal. I can barely get one hand on it to take the connector off, and getting a wrench on it is next to impossible. Is there a secret to taking it off that I don't know about? I don't want to have to take my entire dash apart for this one little thing.

 

You're on the right track with what you're checking. I can't help you about an easier way to get to it though. Bump for you.

 

Did you push the switch manually to see if the brake lights went on?

 

don't take switch out yet,, unplug connector and jump the 2 wires together if lite comes on you have a bad switch ,,if lite stays off you got other problems

 

To get at it a little easier sliide ur seat all the way back and lay upside down on it and you can get under just a little easier. Yea and jump the wires before taking out the switch. Hope this helps.
