Bought a new switch and the brake lights still didn't work. Tested the old one and new one with a multimeter to see if maybe the new one was just faulty, but they both seemed to work. Also checked the wires to the brake switch both seemed to be getting power. Reading other forums and from replies from another post I made, it seemed like the hazard switch was the next likely suspect. Still sounds better than pulling the whole dash lol I don't know? This is the first car I've ever actually worked on, so I'm not really familiar with everything yet lol. Another thing I probably should to check into.

I bought a refurbished hazard switch, so I was replacing my current one with that. The current one works, at least with the hazard lights.

My brake lights aren't working and I was going to replace the hazard light switch and the flasher on my 72 Z. Was wondering if I needed to remove the whole dashboard to replace them or is there another way to do it? Kind of tempted to remove the whole dash just to take a look around and do some cleanup, but I'm afraid that's going to take much longer. Time I could be out driving the car.

Thanks! The more I read about it, the more it seems like that's the case. I'll have to look into it then. Hopefully it works!

Noticed my brake lights weren't working on my 1972 240z. 1. Replaced the brake light switch, still not working. 2. Turn signals, lights, hazard lights all working and blinking. 3. Used a meter to test both new brake light switch, and wires leading to switch. power seems to be going to switch, and new switch doesn't seem to be faulty. Not really sure where to go from here. I've never really worked on cars before, so my mechanical/electrical expertise is minimal. I just successfully upgraded to an electronic ignition and new coil, and that's the most in depth thing I've ever done working on a car ( I was proud of myself for getting it working, and not having something explode or catch on fire haha). Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
