My car is CSX4241 Build Date 9-01 I have no Brake lights and cannot locate the Brake light switch. It is not at the Bottom of the Master Cylinders. any ideas?

It is installed on a 1/4" stud on the rear section of the driver side frame rail. If you jack the rear of the car up, crawl under, then look next to the inner rollbar mount, you'll see it. It is screwed into the rear brake junction block and has two wires connected to it with female bullets .

See it in this photo??:

Now you did not have to go and jack your car up just for me!! But Thanks!! I had the front of my car up doing what I believe to be it's first ever Clutch adjustment and started looking then. Next i started to wonder if Brake lights were an option that was not ordered!

I assume this should be a NAPA part?? other threads on the Brake light topic have suggested eliminating this style. how well do your lights work?? Must you be standing on them to activate?

Turned out to bejust a loose connector!! pulled them and Clened the connections gave them a fresh crimp and we are golden! 60 Degree weather on New Years Day and I was Rolling Safely!!

The connections do come loose from time to time. I bet a spade connector would work better.

BTW, that is CSX4000, the prototype car. I wish it were mine!!
