    Got stopped today for no working brake lights. I checked the fuses and all exposed wiring, could it be the switch at the pedal went out? '
    Seems early for that to happen at 100K mikes.

    My brake lights stopped working one day too. Fortunately, I discovered it was just the fuse. Glad I found out, I felt like an asshole driving around with no brake lights

    Yes it could be the switch. Easy to test if you have cruise control. Turn on the cruise at set speed then tap the brakes it should cancel the cruise control. If it does the brake switch is working.

    I didn't know that. Good to know in case my lights ever go out.
