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) |

As Kevin pointed out, that switch can be tricky! I spent a lot of time figuring out what was wrong.
For me, it took removing the switch and manually pushing it to convince myself it was not something else. There was a small set screw on mine that I adjusted properly and instant brake lights. This happened after the replacement of the master cylinder so that likely changed the pedal travel. Good luck. |
