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) |

Basically the bulbs are designed to only go in one way. I think.
Anywho, I got the FLUKE meter out tonight and confirmed the fact that at the rear lights I was receiving the correct voltage for the + - Back Up Lights + - Wrap around running side markers + - Turn Signal lights + - Running Lights The problem is that there is no voltage on either side when the brake is engaged. So my next step will be to check and see if the brake wire has voltage to the rear brake light. It's a process, just don't have a lot of time. Thanks, Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
