Have a look on the brake pedal its probably a faulty switch something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Febi-Mechanica...51ca873d3a

[Gerard Devine]

yes i tryed a new switch still no brake lights,

I don't have that model to check. Assuming that newer autos do have a pressure switch on the master cylinder ( like they used to back in my day) then I think someone will be along with the location or another idea.

If you have a pre2002 van look at f12 (20A fuse) in the interior fuse box, if its after 2002 look at F5 (10 A fuse)in the interior fuse box. If you have power from the fuse box you then need to check continuity form fuse to brake switch then switch to brake lights.

One of the other thing's to check is the earth put the indicator on get some one to press the brake peddle with IGN on see if the brake light flashes dimly feed back through the wiring

My 2002 m49 burnt out 2 of the black/white brake switches that was 5 years ago .I changed all brake globes to led and have reduced the load on the switch and never had any problems since
