I'm trying to sort out my wiring, fitting a six tacho etc. One thing I'm struggling on is the parking brake light. I've located the flasher relay
(IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/flash1.jpg) The wires out of the relay. Brown/red/blue+white/2xblack+white+green (IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/flash2.jpg) When the Ign is switched on the brake light flashes as it should (parking brake switch not yet connected). When the the parking brake wire is grounded the light doesn't stop flashing. |

QUOTE(thesey914 @ Dec 10 2007, 06:15 PM)  When the Ign is switched on the brake light flashes as it should (parking brake switch not yet connected). When the the parking brake wire is grounded the light doesn't stop flashing. The parking brake switch is grounded when you pull on the brake lever. It is open when the handle is lowered into its resting position. If you do not connect the wire or the switch isn't installed, the parking brake wire is open thus will not cause the flasher to flash. If the brake light is always flashing, either the wire to the parking brake switch is touching the frame or the switch on the master cylinder has tripped. You can unplug (just for this test) the master cylinder switch to see if the brake light goes out. If either of the master cylinder or parking brake switches is closed, the parking light will come on. Not sure what you mean that the brake light flashes when the flashers are on. Is the brake light on only on occasions or on all the time? Spoke |

"Not sure what you mean that the brake light flashes when the flashers are on. Is the brake light on only on occasions or stays on all the time?"
Newbee to board here. Lots of good ideas and answers floating around and all ready put to use. Second Teener and this one I will appreciate!! First love was a 71 1.7 in '79. New love 72 (cleaned up by Camp914 7 yrs back) w/ 75 1.8 that runs way to rich. Lots of extras: 911 front end/16" fuches/mirrors/dash and 5 lug rear. My apoleges(sp?) to the Purist but hey it is all Porsche. And my eventual motor will be too! As highlighted my brake lights stay on all the time when the ignition is turned on. Is this a sign of the master cylinder needing reset? All other lights work properly and I have double checked wiring at rear as well as cleaned ground at engine/cockpit firewall. Thanks in advance for all thoughts ideas on brake lights and 1.8 running rich.... jkp Spoke [/quote] |
