grocerygetter Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 So my Fiance followed me home last night in her car and nearly rear-ended me a few times (normal behavior for a woman in traffic), she finally called me and informed my brake lights were not functioning. So here is my problem. Brake lights dont workNo Bulb Failure LightFuse is OKAs well as bulbsAny ideas on the culprit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white96850turbo Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thats really weird becaues the other day two of my brake lights went out, same thing, fuse not blown, bulbs are fine, so i dont know.The only thing that i can think of is that mabe its related to the Electrical Portion of the Ignition Switch because i know that i need to have mine replaced.

grocerygetter Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Since none of mine are working my guess is the sensor on the actual brake pedal, but I have never heard of a failure like that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Since none of mine are working my guess is the sensor on the actual brake pedal, but I have never heard of a failure like that before.Replace the switch underneath the pedal arm. It just unplugs and plugs back in, should take 3 minutes of your time at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 97 850 GLT Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 +1 for the brake light switch above the pedal. It happened on my wifes '97 850 GLT. Easy fix although you could always check the adjustment and try to get it working again until you get it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
