Once you get to the switches, I would suggest unplugging them one at a time and then putting a jumper wire to complete the circuit and then see it the lights work. If they work then you know there is something wrong with the switches. If your lights don't work with the jumper, then start looking at your wiring for problems. Pascal '84Westy

The bulbs are fine and I've replaced the fuse. I see from the big green book there are two brake light switches. Someone here said they are hydraulic. My fluid level is fine. Brakes are working fine. So I think the big green books picture was referencing the brake fluid area in the dash under the cover. But in looking at it, I'm not sure what the best way is to get to the brake light switches (from the top or do I remove the streering wheel column cover?), and will I have to remove the fluid to remove the switches? |
