haha not sure if it fell off

haha not sure if it fell off dont know what im looking for :)

The brake light switch is

The brake light switch is located in front of the brake pedal "arm" (the metal part whic holds the brake pedal) about halfway up. you'll have to get under the dash (drivers' side of course) to see it. If it had fell off, your brake lights would be on all of the time. Anyway, once located, check forpower getting to one of the wires connected to it. Two wires should have power when the brakes are applied. If this is OK. Check for power and a ground at the brake light sockets. let us know how it goes and if necessary we'll help you further.
