try here, you will be looking for a pressure switch, not a contact switch, I am sure you have the TMs, I would guess you would find the info in the brake syetem section

Please do not ask the same question in more than one thread. We call that cross-posting. It is counter-productive and wastes peoples time and efforts.

The brake light switch is on the front of the air pack.

The break switch is located under the drivers seat under the truck. There is a skid plate and you should be able to see the wires hanging off of the side, but the first time you access it, it may be easier if you take the skid plate off. You will need a 5/8 inch wrench to do so. Also not that the bakes light will not work if you do not turn them on with the light switch. It takes that and break pressure to activate the brake lights. You can test the switch by shorting the two wires to see if the lights work. If the lights come on with the wires shorted, but not with brake pressure it is the switch.
