You should not have to tear down the dash. The brake switch is located on the brake pedal. It does not matter which way the wire are plugged into it. All it does is complete the circuit when you push on the pedal.

well g all my crap is hooked up wrong then cause i cant access it without taking out the air duct that runs under the dash and for me to remove mine i have to the bezel off( to get the bezel off i have to loosen the dash pad) then unhook my radio cause it wont clear enough to go far enough to unscrew the screws on the vent.... but anyways i dont know what was loose but i reseated 2 relays and the flasher(to the right of the brake pedal i guess thats my 4high and hazard light thing) and it suddenly worked so i dont know. if i had the money and the time i would tear the dash completely apart and custom run everything with a new wireing harness cause thats what it needs
