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) |

Grounds.
Chassis grounds may need to be cleaned. Look under the relay board in the engine bay, remove it and clean it. Transmission ground strap... Fuse panel ground. Finally, did you check the voltage when you apply the brakes at the light. Did you follow that back the fuse panel? Have you removed and cleaned all your fuses...this is a common issue Look for bad connections of frayed wiring going from the brake lights all the way to the brake switch. |
