Hello,
Just enjoying the PreSuper Bowl when I noticed my brake lights were not lighting up? The rear running lights light up when the lights come on, the turn signals work, the hazards work, the fogs work, The back-up light works. I checked the fuses all good, I checked the bulbs all good. I looked at the connections at the rear lights and good on both sides. I checked under the pedals and the wires are connected to the brake sensor or sending unit. Could the sending unit at the brake pedal maybe have gone bad or is there a relay or something I am missing? Thanks, Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

Ok,
Took out the running light and brake light bulb, it has two distinct filaments. Took bulb out looked inside and saw zero signs of corrosion, ran 320 grit over all surfaces that will come in contact. Put on a thin coat of grease (White Lithium). Started the car up and tested and got the exact same result, all lights work perfect but when I step on the brake I get a weak light up on the brake light left only? Just tried it again and the running light is up with the lights on but now the weak brake light will not even glow slightly? Next Step? Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
