    Hello dear friends! Its going to be a NICE weekend here in Tulsa. But, I have been stricken with a brake light problem that could hamper my being able to go out( and be safe anyway). So, I call upon you for help. It has been my experience that no brake lights are 1. Bulb or bulbs out. 2. Fuses and or relays. So, considering the fact that I have blinkers on all four sides, running lights on all four sides. Tail lights and headlights all good. Just no break lights at night or day. Any idea where to go from there? And help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great weekend everyone!!!!

    Brake light switch. Or a very rare coincidence of both tail lights having their brake bulbs burned out simultaneously - happens.

    Same thing happened on my 355....It first checked my fuse, did some simple checks with my VOM Meter and found it was my switch.

    The switch is in the cockpit down by the brake pedai.

    I ordered a switch from Racambi for less than 30 bux and in ten minutes I replaced it and was good to go.

    Generally the simplest answer is the right one. I try not to over think things just because it is a Ferrari. It's just a car after all. ;)
