Not an electrician. All lights including running lights and turn signals work, but no brake lights. What am i looking for? Im sure its a simple fix. Thanks

Have you checked the fuse and the brake switch? It’s likely the brake switch, and that only takes a second to replace.

Check for power into the brake switch (orange hot all the time from the battery). Depress the brake pedal and confirm power out of the switch on the white lead.

Try disconnecting the wiring plug for the turn signal switch and reconnecting it.

Worked on mine.

Long black plug on the right side of the column JIC ...

:D

I had the same issue.
