GeneralDisorder Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It's on the pedal assembly. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbroadus Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Checked the switch, read the book making not a lot of sense. seems like it the plunger or what ever it is should be out when brakes are not on an in when its being depressed??? mine is the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 There's a rubber pad that pushes the switch only when the brakes are not being pressed. This way even a very slight brake pressure will turn them on. If it were the other way the switch mechanism needed to counteract varying brake pressure would be overly complex. The switch probably grounds when it's "plunger" is out. Test it to see. Could also be something with the wireing. The brake lights run off the same circuit as the choke, so if the choke power wire grounds out it will blow the fuse. You have checked the fuses I take it?
