brake switch

Is this my brake pedal switch if it is how the hell am i supposed to get that nut off? There's hardly any showing assuming that's how a get it off that is

switch is plastic so lock nut wont be that tight, you may just be able to unscrew switch

pull the two connectors apart and use a short bit of (insulated) wire to join them together. (wires going to the switch, not the switch its self)
make sure the brake lights come on when joined. (don't forget to have the ignition on)

no point removing the switch, if it isn't faulty!
if the brake lights don't come on when the switch is bypassed, your fault lies elsewhere.

So I'm pulling that black cap off n shoving some wire in there?

nope, the two white plastic things with the green wires in them.
connect the white plastic thing with two green wires to the white plastic thing with one green wire.

Ever worked for Haynes Manuals?

Refitting is the reverse of removal

edit-
and anything referring to a torch, is a hand operated lantern and not oxy acetylene cutting equipment.
and don't forget to securely chock the road wheels.

You could break the glass on your brake light bulb and attach a 12v audible device to the ellectrodes
Then you will not need an accomplice or a tiresome trip to the rear of your landy

but that would require the tiresome trip in the first place

Park next to something that reflects light, eg.Window or another car, look in the mirrors for a reflection

or do it at night

Install a bulb monitoring system
