Default New Guy. To forum and to Mustangs. Have a question.

What's happening guys, my name is Laurence and I just got a Mustang LOL.

Little bit of backstory, I've wanted one of these things for a while and finally picked one up today. It's damn clean and with with only 97K...all original. Only things the previous owner did was BBK headers and Magnaflow pipes....so not molested.

Anyway, quick question. The brake lights won't turn on. They light up when I turn the lights on and the fuses all look good, what could be the issue? I'm thinking the switch at the pedal but how do I plug that thing back in?

Anyway, just wanted to say and I know I will be posting a lot more as I get further and further into this thing. Here's a pic below, i wish I had more but I'm at work right now and snapped this quick one right as we were leaving the previous owner's house.

Welcome to the forum. It's most likely the pedal switch. If it's unplugged like mentioned above just plug it back in. If you still have an issue you can order a new switch pretty cheap thru rockauto.
