Brake light
« on: July 24, 2012, 09:12:17 PM »
So front brake lights it up. Rear brake nothing. Do those taillight switches go out often?

The rear brake switch has a adjustment and has a spring on it try to move the plunger on the sw. with your hand with key on see if that makes it work It may just need adjusting.

Also the foot pedal is adjustable it may not be letting the sw. move enough

Tried both and nothing so could be brake light. How would I test connection from green to black? Does black power the brake light?

Can you bridge the connection to check for continuity?
