quick run down...

 

bought the stang in April and among many of the problems it had the brakes light were stuck on...though quick fix replaced the brake light switch and now they were just 100% OFF.... so i rigged it up to work temporary so i could drive it a few miles to see how it ran after i got it running...

Ive been messing with the brake lights since April and to no Avel will they work correct...:mad: now they wont work at all!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

 

ive traced all wiring back to the lights checked the grounds and still nothing....

 

im at a lost of works..ive searched online on every mustang forum that i can find any info on along with the clinton manuals and Haynes...and NO luck...ive replaced the switch thinking i just keep getting bad switched 6 times in the past month...

 

any idea as to what the heck is up with this....the simplist problem the car had ( i though anyway) has turned out to be the biggest pain in the ass...i cant drive it till i get the break lights working and all be damned if im not gonna be able to drive it this weekend :bang:

its adjustable you need to adjust the switch so that the lights come on when you push the pedal sounds like the plunger is adjusted all the way in

 

 

ive messed and messed with that...i aint getting anything...right now i got a very and i mean very faint light from the bulb even when the cars off with running lights off..and no pressing the break peddle...so its draining my battery...very slowly and when running lights are on its bright... hell idk but i cant figure it out.

Check the plug at tht switch and make sure it is not melted.

and make sure the wires aren broken off....and make sure you have power on one side of the switch..one side will be hot at all times.

heres the deal..if i pull the contact away from the switch it will come on...but with no way will it come on by pushung the peddle down...im about to just pay someone to fix this damn break light problem..i ****** hate wiring..
