What are symptoms of a faulty brake light switch?

HI, The most obvious is no brake lights, the brake lights might be coming on and off as you press the brake pedal, do you hear the switch as you press the brake pedal? A brake light switch isn't hard to replace but the first thing to look at and check is the fuse, see if that's blown. A brake light bulb may also be bad but you need to look at the fuse first. Good luck. Steve H.
