My truck is a Dakota 2001 and I have some lights probleme ...

I've cheked the fuse in the engine bay and dash and they are all good. Day lights and flasher work, but the brake light don't work when I push the pedal. There's no constant power on the pink wire and the fuse is there so what should I do ? Start a new wire to power my brake switch ? Rear flasher and rear day light work ...

Thanks guys !

Which pink wire, at the brake switch? The one with the dark blue tracer? Yes, it should be hot. Did you check the fuse, #5 in the PDC under the hood, with a meter? Sometimes they can look good even when they are not.

 

Yep the pink wire with the blue strip at the brake switch got NO POWER at all ... And yes I've cheked the fuse #5 and it's good !?

 

WTF I think I wasn't checking the right fuse ... Didn't checked the big *** one with the clear cover on them and from what I understand the power for the brake switch is starting from this fuse ... From the wiring diagram it seems that the only wire who start from this fuse is the pink with blue stripe on it. Tonight after work I'll check that fuse and hope it was my probleme ...
