Hey guys,
I am reposting this inquiry... as a new guy I posted it to the wrong area.
So here's my dilemma:
No brake lights
I've checked the brake switch (continuity shows it working)
Power from pink wires to brake switch is showing hot, white wire is not hot.
The dash light switch seems to be working correctly. The right rear blinker works however the left rear blinker does not. The left rear bulb is also fine, both elements are attached. The left rear blinker DOES not work but the left front blinker does work (in the bumper).
I checked the junction at the driver side foot well, that feeds the trunk lights etc. All connections are good. However when testing the bulb wires (blinker/brake) at this junction, this wire does not show hot. I'm a novice here but the dark green wire should have my test light blinking like a blinker, BUT it does not. If I recall right, the black wire in this junction shows hot on my test light.
I tested the dark green wire at the base of the steering column, wire diagram shows it goes there too, and it too is NOT hot...
I've jumped the brake switch at the pedal, no luck in lighting the brake lights. The blinker switch (round aluminum object behind dash) makes the ole' blinker noise, when blinker is engaged for left and right turns.
I am thinking it might be the switch in the column, but not 100% sure.
Any other suggestions for this? And can I run my own wire to the trunk to light the brake bulbs?
Again rear park lights and passenger rear blinker all work! But no brake lights....
Headlamps, low and high, all work. Reverse lights work, dash dimmer works, dome light works at the door switch and at the dash light switch.
Thanks for any assistance
