Had it in for tires and an alignment today. When they pulled it into the bay and on the alignment rack, I noticed the brake lights didn't come on. Tailights, center high mount and the auxiliary LED strip I added, none of them lit. I called the tech's attention to it and he tried a couple of things including setting a pressure bar to hold the pedal down, to no avail. While it was on the rack (pressure bar still in place), and he was out in front of the vahicle looking at the alignment machine, they all came on. I drove it therest of the day and when I got back home, I tried it in front of the garage door. None of them lit again.

When they're on, they're steady, no flickering.

Can't be a fuse if they come on at all.

I don't think it's the strip I added since the factory lights and the high mount act the same way.

The only common point I can think of is the pedal switch. But I can't see it to find out how to test it or adjust it, if possible. Or to see how to remove and replace it.

How should this work? Is it just a dry contact wire to wire? Or contact to ground?
