no brake lites on '64 01 eagle. found the brake switch thanks to luvrbus.
switch is good. where should I look next?
Fuse/circuit breaker. Do you have power to the switch?
I know it sounds too simple but check the bulbs, I've seen two blew at the same time and I chased my tail because of it. Seen it with head lights too! But check then more than visually as well, they might look good but not be. Best thing to do is swap with a known good bulb. FWIW

yes, 12.6v to the switch, jumpered across switch, no lites.
all bulbs are good. where would I find a fuse, etc?
No fuse it has a self resetting breaker under the drivers window if it hasn't been moved
If you have power to the switch, the fuse is good. Start following the wires. Where you lose power is the problem. If you have a combination brake/turn the brake signal goes through the turn signal switch.
Check your grounds if all else fails. That has been a problem on mine, but not anymore. ;)
if it takes more than 2-4 minutes to find....it's a ground problem. :-\
thanks to all that posted. found broken wire in engine compartment but corrosion
in wire was so bad that I got a good voltage reading but not enough current to lite
the bulbs. Ran a new wire from brake switch to engine compartment and everything
is good.
thanks again to all.
