WHERE do I find 1964 Buick riviera stop / break light switch location ?

[MrY]

I have not break lights on my 1964 Riviera

where is the break light switch ?

I tried to google it but came up empty ....

Where to start looking ...

inside under the dash ?

or in the engine compartment ?

or under the car on the frame rails ?

It's my weekend project - thought I asked for some pointers before I get down on my knees ....

I thought I start by check the power on the switch and that the other pool show current when I step on the break pedal ....

thx

You'll have better luck if you're looking for the correct switch. The Riv uses a mechanical switch above the brake pedal, not the hydraulic one you've posted. Look for this under the dash.

The Rock Auto site is always a good place to try to see what a part looks like. (and price it too)

I went out and looked today

and there is no such switch on my break pedal or around there

but

there is a cruise control switch that have an arm following and sliding on the break pedal

so

I guess if the car has cruise control then there is a different setup
