The rear tail lights and turn signals work, so bulbs or ground are not the issue. I can't find anything electrical associated with the brake pedal.

If your Tigger is stock it will be down on the front passenger wheelwell where the brake lines all meet. http://autox.team.net/mailman/opti; /html/tigers/2013-09/msg00143.html (10,498 bytes)

Re: [Tigers] No Brake Lights (score: 1): Author: "Smit, Theo" <Theo.Smit@dynastream.com>; Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:30:19 +0000; It could still be a wiring issue, since the brake/taillight bulbs have separate filaments for the brake function. But, as Bob suggests, the hydraulic switch is the most likely culprit. I've converted; /html/tigers/2013-09/msg00144.html (13,267 bytes)

Its a big deal to replace it. The common solution is to install a mechanical switch on the pedal assembly. Here's s; /html/tigers/2013-09/msg00147.html (10,311 bytes)

Carefully, and check the ground resistance from the bulb sockets to frame ground. Ron's right, first step, jumper the wires at the switch and check the lights.
