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) |

Thanks for the great leads.
I jumped on this tonight and found nothing wrong with the switch at the pedal, closer investigation showed a dim lighting of the brake bulbs (Testing while the car was running).....would that be a ground problem, my wife was watching at the back said that they got brighter and then dimmer??? Running lights get the same bulbs up to perfect brightness. I checked the connections again at the rear lights and found nothing amiss. Like R Towle suggested time to break out the FLUKE Meter. Any other observations on my Gremlin are welcome. Thank you, Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
