Another Brake Light Question...

[dcombs]

Hi Guys,

I did a search and got a ton of input but wanted to ask because I still can't fix it...

I have rear running lights when the head lights are on and blinkers work too. But no brake lights. I took the two wires off the stop light pressure switch and ran completed the circuit with my test light, but the brake lights didn't come on. Does that mean the pressure switch is working and there's another problem?

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Danny

you hook the two wires off the brake switch together without the test light to complete the circuit. I just use a piece of wire to hook the two together for testing.

Aw. That makes sense! I'll give it a shot.

Thanks,

my brake lights are just the opposite (on my son Matthews truck) , they are on all the time, I am figureing its a bad brake light switch in my case. Also make sure to check the bulbs, there are running lights, flashers, and brake lights, not sure how the circuitry works out, but a couple of those have to work in relation to one another...
