It's cheap and easy. You can do it yourself. Cars simply have a plastic housing under the pedal arm with a button. These adjust up and down with threads to compensate for arm travel. Try that first to make sure button fully depressed when arm is down. The arm depresses the button when you hit your brakes to trigger the lights. The harness just plugs into it with a 2-wire lead. Establish if the switch is bad by unplugging if previous did not work and use wire to connect terminals on the plug. Brake lights should come on. if you need a new switch get one from a dealer, but don't let them install it or they will find all sorts of other expensive things to do on your car.

Well if you mean replace the brake pads/shoes and not the entire brake system it depends on whether you get the parts and do it youself or get a mechanic to do it. Parts vary enormously on price so shop around!
89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo Ignition key stuck in on position This is the second time last time cost 150 then after the warranty was up got stuck again?
In my case it was the ignition switch itself had overheated and seized up. Replace the switch (have to lower the column, disconnect the wiring plug from the switch, and remove/replace the switch.) Clean all connections to the switch, make sure they're connected solidly and not heating up again.
Why do only one brake light work?
Check your fuses. They are usually located in the glove box. They are easy to change and only cost about $5 for a box. Check your manual to see which fuse is for the lights, if the medal bar is broken you need a new fuse. I have a 1977 Chevy Impale,the brake light wan't work and when turn on the turn signal to right the left come on also.Do you know the problem. check the brake light switch,on the brake pedal. it may be out of adjustment or just plain faulty. I just recently had this fixed on my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. The brakes lights were out on both sides but worked in the rear glass. Ended up being the turn signal switch which for my car was a $350 part and with labor was a total of $507. Good Luck! You may have a short in your wireing. Also your wires might not be hooked up to your lights.check your plugs and if they are good you might want to take it in to a shop. it is common for your earth wire/s in the brake light plastic housing to have a bad connection and can be corrected by tightening the screw that fixes it to the housing.(located near where the bulb/s fit) On my LHS, it appears that the switch that connects to the brake pedal went out. Hence, all of the brake lights do not work. Something to check out as well in doing your diagnostics.

99 ford expedition brake lights are not working when the brake pedal is pressed down fuses are all good regular rear lights come on and the hazard lights blink help pls?
you probably need to replace the brake light switch , which is located above the brake pedal under the dash This is pretty easy to replace and $11 cost for part. However, mine had burnt contacts upon examination (you can take the cover off after removing it from the brake pedal) but the new switch did not fix the problem. I found loose wires in the top connector in the multifunction switch. I gave them a push from behind and brake lights worked again.
Why do your brake lights never turn off on a 1980 dodge?
Most likely your brake light switch is faulty or out of adjustment. You can buy an aftermarket service manual for your specific make, model, and year at your local auto parts store for less cost than half an hour of a mechanic's time. It will tell you where the switch is, how to test it, adjust it and replace it.
