Good morning Lynette. It sounds like your brake lamp switch. It can be located above the brake pedal. Some are adjustable while others are not. Unplug it and if your lights go off it's your source. Safety Notice: Please be advised your brake lights will not work with it unplugged.
I would like to thank Danny_atx for answering imy questionn it worked saved me money from taking it to the mechanic thank you so much
Glad I could help. If you don't mind, were you able to tighten/adjust it or did you have to get a new switch?
Danny_atx it was able to tighten my friend said he could see what was going on and it was loose so glad did not have to buy but will keep a eye to see if lights come back on thank you
I’m about to tell my friend to try this now. Thanks guys
