<VV> No Brake Lights

[Michael Kovacs]

Sorry I don' t have a clue. Sounds like you did everything possible testing wise. My next brilliant thought would be to try new bulbs. This does not make sense, but you have nothing to lose. 
   
  You have 12V to a volt meter when the brake pedal is pushed?  Yes, then try a test light and see if that lights up.
   
   Let us know what you finally figure out.

  OK - this leaves me baffled.
No brake lights; but taillights and turn signals work fine.
Using a continuity probe, verified that output at the brake pedal switch is 
good.
Verified that ground at both taillight housings is good.
Verified that current at taillamp socket is there when you press brake 
pedal.
Replaced both bulbs = no difference.
Removed bulbs and tested for current at sockets under all scenarios (any 
combination of tail, turn and brakes; with light switch on or off) All test 
good on the continuity probe INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHTS.
Reinstall the bulbs, and I'm BACK TO NO BRAKE LIGHTS (but turn signals that 
use the same wire and same bulb element work fine.)
HUH?

Thanks, 
Matt from L.I. ('66 Monza coupe 110/pg)
