What to do when brake lights not work on 98 tacoma and fuses are ok When pedal is pushed clicking can be heard in dash.?

1. Check the brake light switch. The brake light switch is responsible for turning on the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. If the switch is faulty, the brake lights will not work. To check the brake light switch, disconnect the electrical connector from the switch and use a multimeter to test for continuity between the two terminals. If there is no continuity, the switch is faulty and needs to be replaced.

2. Check the brake light bulbs. If the brake light switch is working properly, the next step is to check the brake light bulbs. To do this, remove the brake light assemblies from the vehicle and inspect the bulbs. If any of the bulbs are burned out, replace them with new bulbs.

3. Check the brake light wiring. If the brake light switch and bulbs are both working properly, the next step is to check the brake light wiring. To do this, use a multimeter to test for continuity between the brake light switch and the brake light bulbs. If there is no continuity, there is a problem with the wiring that needs to be repaired.

4. Check the brake pedal assembly. If the brake light switch, bulbs, and wiring are all working properly, the next step is to check the brake pedal assembly. To do this, remove the brake pedal from the vehicle and inspect it for damage. If the brake pedal is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

5. Have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic. If you are not comfortable performing any of the above steps, or if you are unable to find the problem, have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.
