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........... PROBLEM SOLVED
I have been messing with my Fluke Meter and based on no real issues along the line I decided to zone in on the brake light sending unit behind the Pedal Board. Mine had quite a bit of travel too it. I found another one I had and messed with it, I thought it was toast because it did not have the range my other one in the car had? Please reference page 129, figure 9.25 Brake Light Switch adjustment LOCKNUT, in the Haynes Manual. I messed with the Fluke meter and received 13 volts while the engine was running, so I knew the switch was working, I made an adjustment to a shorter throw and the next thing I knew my brake lights were fixed. Oh the sweet feeling of figuring something out with the World's help of course! So next time someone has tail light brake issues check the adjustment on the Brake Light Adjustment Locknut. Thanks for a happy ending. The Bud Light is tasting very good tonight and cannot wait to take the old girl out tomorrow for a spirited romp about the countryside!!!
