1987 Brake lights not working
Hi all!
I have an issue with my 87 E150, the brake lights aren't working currently and I am incredibly stumped. I've replaced the brake switch by the pedal and all the fuses are still good. My signals work and I also replaced the bulbs. I also don't have any hazards but I don't know if that's part of the problem as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The brake switch is integrated into the hazards, so that when the hazards are on, and you hit the brake pedal, the hazards stop to a solid light.
So the chance that the Hazard switch is not working, would result in the brake lights not working.
With you saying that you have "No Hazards" working, leads to the "Turn Signal Switch" even thought your turns work, the hazard switch is part of the TSS.
This "older" style of turn signal switch was used up to '91, then the multi-function switch came into play. I've replaced this style of TSS on older Jeeps, that used the GM style steering column for the same reasons your experiencing. Once the switch was replaced, all problems went away.
