hey all -----
in the fountain of wisdom that is the avd forum......can anyone help me out with my brake lights?
they work................but only if i brake really really hard and push the pedal all the way to the floor.
is it a bad connection?
nothing wrong with the bulbs or anything - its just if i brake lightly - or only "tap" the brakes no lights come on ------ not a good idea as no one behind me can see me slowing down.......
any advice?
thanks, thorun
Would guess it is the brake switch attatched to the master cylinder.
It is a pressur opperated switch and must be dodgy.
Get it changed and see what happens.
Futue te ipsum!!!

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

When you take out the switch check to see if some dirt is in the switch ma save buying a new one.
