Brake light switch

[1970EuropaGuy]

My brake lights have quit working. Does anyone know where the brake light switch is located? I've been looking in the dark garage and haven't located it yet.

Should be in the engine bay right side, usually just on top of the frame.

Thanks. I'll have a look after I finish my morning coffee.

Note that is has 3/8-24 threads, not 1/8" NPT that is commonly found in parts stores.

On a TC it is between the exhaust manifold and the battery.

Two green wires coming off the top.

Found it guys... Thanks

Turns out a wire just pulled loose.

Yeah, life is tough! This all came about because I just installed a third brake light so soccer moms texting and putting on makeup have a better chance of seeing me. I was unsure about doing this modification but it might save me some day. I think it looks OK.

It looks great! I've seen where some have done something more fancy but this is a lot less disruptive and looks really good!

I never feel uneasy when I drive my Lotus but so many people are distracted with their phones, I think that anything we can do to wake them up is a positive step. If I were to die racing in Formula 1 or whatever that would be OK. But I don't want to die from a distracted driver and they are becoming more common every year.

Get a good horn too. If you aren't seen, you better be heard!

Very nice! I like the way it blends in with the stripe!

I am restoring my 71 and thought the same as you about being seen. Where did you source this awsome 3rd light? The other thing I am thinking about is installing a small shark fin on back of roof with a backup camera instead of a rear view mirror to clear the side sails.

     70guy, while we wait for the source answer, I think you have a winner there.👍👍🏆🏆
You may see it pop up again.

here's my 3rd middle LED brake light, however I secured mine "UNDER" the rear overhand edge.   It tucked up underneath quite nicely and out of sight, except if you are behind the car.
