brake lights not working

hi,ive got mk1 golf cabby 1981, with no brake lights!!!  checked bulbs and fuse,also looked under brake pedal for switch, no switch and  still no go..
can someone shed some light on this problem….many thanx…

Hi Mate, check near the master cylinder or around there, should be sticking out towards the passenger side. Hope this helps.

Moved to electrics as it was in for sale thread.
You may get more responses now & hopefully get it sorted.

there should be 2 pressure switches on the master cylinder, red/black and red/yellow wires. unplug one of them and bridge the pins then see if the lights come on. if not make sure the pins are all clean, if not check the fuses for the lights (#6)

Done both of them mate. I've bridged and one brake light comes on have them a clean and checked fuses still no joy. I may just need a new one
