I noticed that the brake lights on my '73 Beetle stopped functioning. I don't think it is a problem with the lights as there doesn't appear to be any voltage making it back there. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Thanks,

Well, I think you should test the "pressure switch" located in the master brake cylinder with an ohmmeter or a test light. It should be (ON) when pressing the brake pedal and goes (OFF) when depressing. Also check the 2 wires connected to it.
I hope this will help.
Please send me back for the results. Smile
