Brake light switch

Own a 1995 FT u320 and the brake lights aren't working. Checked the circuit breaker, bulbs and now need to check the brake light switch.

Does anyone know which switch will replace the current?

There are 2 brake light switches. Napa should have ones to replace those.

Can you access the switches by taking off the dash facia since they seem to be above the brake pedal

You may find two air pressure actuated electric switches located on top of front metal wall inside left forward outside compartment where gen rad air blower is located.  One switch for each of front & rear brake systems.  Meter switch to see if they are working.  Both close at same air pressure setting.

I think there are three air pressure switches to control retarder under dash behind carpet panel in front of brake pedal that are connected to one of the two air brake systems.  Each switch closes at different air pressure settings.

Well appears a 1995 unicoach has the treadle valve and brake light switch above the brake pedal behind the dashboard and hard to reach. Pictures below. Any suggestions tricks to access?
