Ok got new bulb nothing... Grrr... I remember when I was younger my dads friend fixed this by going under the dash and fiddling with something and it worked. Any feed back? Going to pull car out of storage tomorrow

SE or GT? Check for power on the LT Blue wire at the brake switch. The LT Blue wire also runs the brake lights on the GT only. The SE runs through the turn signal switch and uses the LT Blue wire for the 3rd brake only.

The brake pedal switch is adjustable. Once you have a look at it, it's obvious how to adjust it... just unplug the connector and spin the switch to screw or unscrew it in the little bracket to move it away from or towards the brake pedal until the brake lights go out when the pedal is at the rest position. Then carefully plug it back in without shoving the switch in the bracket any deeper.
