On my standard 97 Valk, all the sudden I'm getting no brake lights. Nothing by hand or foot. The tail light works. The fuse and bulb filaments look good.  Could it be a break switch? Easy fix? Thanks.

  I would check bulb with VOM.
Also check wires at rear with same.
  There are two switches, one at pedel
and one at lexer.

See if your horn works. There are 2 fuses 1 for tail lights and 1 for brake lights. If no horn, fuse is blown

I worked on a Valk for a friend who had no brake lights. Front or rear. Thought a fuse (nope); loose/broken wires (nope). Stumped for a few minutes. Found the front lever switch was faulty, Cleaned/lubed switch; so I got br. lights working. Pedal still didn't work. The spring connecting the pedal to the rear switch was gone. Who'da thunk 2 problems with brake lights at the same time.

Change the bulb first thing....its a dual filament......different flame for running lights and brake lights
