1988 DL 4WD wagon stop lights on

Featured Replies

After finding that my stop lights were staying on, I unplugged the connector to the switch, and the lights still stayed on.

In the '87-'89 lighting system diagram in Haynes it shows a wire from the stop light switch going to the rectangular "stop light checker" which is grounded.

To be able to drive the wagon safely i would like to isolate that wire, which is apparently grounded, and replace it with another one, but--

Where is the "stop light checker" located?

Thanks, but the parking lights are not on, which is OK with me. I can do without them--illegal to drive with them anyway--but I can't risk driving with stop lights that are not functioning properly.
