Been scratching my head on this one i dont have any brake lights and all the wires look good fuse is good and the bulbs are good but still no brake lights. What else do i need to check?

 

i had a problem like that check the fuse and see if it getting any power that was my problem also might want to check your brake light switch on the pedal

 

i figure its the switch on the pedal since it is 30 freaking years old and when i push down on the pedal i dont see much movement on it.

 

You should have power to one side of the switch from the fuse. Use a jumper across both pins to see if your brake lights come on. Wires to the pedal switch break sometimes, there's a replacement connector with pigtails available. Pedal switches last for a long time and seldom need replacement.

Sounds to me like:

Check also for the signal light - four way flasher switch. I had the same problem where tail lights and brake lights some times worked and others won't light up , and it ended up being worn out connectors inside the switch. The four ways flasher switch wasn't traveling all the way when switched on and off and was interrupting the functions of the lights.
Hope you found the fault...

 

Sorry i haven't replied i fixed the problem that week it was the brake pedal switch got it at autozone for 8 bucks
