LK3054xs brake lights not working

[JoelD]

Going to work on this later today, any advice. All other electrics appear to work, including flashers, and tail lights when head lights are on. But no brake lights, I'm gonna start first with switch under brake pedal, anyone who's had this problem, any advice is greatly appreciated. Neither brake light works, but the do light up with driving light, just don't get brighter with brake applied, and without head lights on, do not light up with brake applied.
Thanks,
Joel

The wires from the brake switch have become disconnected. Mine hung down under the brake peddle and they get pulled loose on brush. I've reconnected the wires and used wire ties to secure them up under the tractor.

Thanks, took a quick look, they look ok, I'll get a closer look and also test the switch with my meter for continuity. Thanks for the reply, you are right, they are exposed down there, I'll do what you've done for sure.

Thanks again,
Joel

Check all the connections for corrosion on the pins. You'll get weird and wonderful things going on with bad grounds or connections.

Will do, thanks,
Are you referring to the pins (2) on the pedal switch, or another set of pins?

Thanks,
Joel

I'd start by checking the bulbs, could be they are blown. It's unusual for both to go at once, but it can happen.

Thanks,
They both work with the driving lights on, but when I push the brake pedal they do not get brighter. Also, when driving lights are off and I push the brake pedal, they do not go on at all. I am hoping its the switch under the brake pedal, will test with volt meter this Saturday.

Thanks again for the posts.
