Re: IML: 61 Brake Lights, I am stumped

[Frank Griffin <gilbertparts@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No trailer lights, I will keep looking. Anyone know the part number of a 61 turn signal switch ? I can't find it on the IML web pages.

You should have lights when you connect the two wires. If not, there
may be a blown fuse, but fuses don't blow for no reason. Are there
trailer light hook ups in the trunk or behid the rear bumper? Sometimes
these are poorly done and short out. If not, check for problems with
what you can see first, then you'll need to check the wiring diagrams
and follow the wires. Replace the switch anyway. Once you find the real
problem you still will be stumped if they don't work due to a bad
switch.

Subject: IML: 61 Brake Lights, I am stumped



I went to get my inspection sticker and found out I don't have brake
lights. I have power to the brake light switch. I tried eliminating the
switch and connected the switch leads, still no brake lights. I know
the bulbs are good because I have turn signals and running lights and
all the fillaments are good and light. I cleaned the sockets and ground
path in taillights. I tried wiggling the turn signal switch while
applying the brakes to see if the switch was going bad but that didn't
change anything. I am stumped and don't know where else to look, any
suggestion are welcome as I am at my wits end.
