alexbuoy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hello all i’ve got an 82 Brat and the brake lights do not work. Tail lights do work when lights are on. I have the two prong plug from the brake pedal connected to a green, green/yellow plug. I’ve cleaned the grounds and also have cleaned the electrical connections (which brought life back to my drivers side tail light) So a couple questions 1. Is the brake pedal switch connected to the right plug? 2. What else should I check that might cause an issue with my brake lights? 3. I think the issue might be in the harness. is there a way to bypass the harness and wire the switch directly to the tail lights? thank you!

el_freddo Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 After fuses check that the switch works properly at the pedal. You don't want to go chasing a wiring issue when it's a non functioning switch at the end of the day... Cherrs Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
