My 88 RC w/cruse control 5.9L brake light switch went out. Went to all the auto shops no good. Went to thr dealer and they told me that, that type of brake light switch is no longer MADE!! Does anybody have input on this problem?

If it's that second one I have bought them at autozone before. I bought the last one about a year ago so they should still have them.

Check fuse #9 20 amp...if its ok then check your hazard switch on the steering column. Pull/push the switch in and out about 6 times and then check your brake lights. If this switch gets jammed 1/2 way in between on and off the brake lights will not work. If this doesnt fix your problem then I'l post a wiring diagram for the turn signal switch and we'll go from there.:)
