Subject:      Re: Brake Light Switch?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

A public thank you to Stan Wilder, Joel Walker, Leon Korkin, Dave K., and
Sean B. for their suggestions on my problem of brake lights only working
when I pressed very hard on the brake pedal.


Possible suggestions for causes of the problem included low brake fluid, old
brake fluid causing corrosion on switches, improper grounding, and poor
continuity in the wiring.


Brake fulid level is fine and has been changed regularly.  I will check the
grounding and wiring continuity.  If that proves to be OK, I will replace
the switches based on the procedure given--remove 4 screws in instrument
cluster, put rag under switches, and quickly replace.


Thanks again for all of your ideas--when I find the problem, I will post
again so that a solution will be in the archives.


Harold
