My break lights are not working. Tested the bulb and fuse both are fine. Took out the break switch and tested it is fine. Any suggestions?

Hello -

The manufacture doesn't release the wiring on the brake system for this... So that will make it a little harder.

When you say you tested the bulb...I believe this is a two filament bulb... So you put 12 volts to it and both filaments lit up?

Also, do your rear parking lights work?

The fuse I show is fuse #3... Did you check it with an ohm meter... Sometimes they look good to the eye but are not... The tail lights I show on fuse #4... Is this what you mean when you say you checked both fuses?

When you checked the switch... How did you test is to see if it was good... Usually if the switch is stuck in the tail lights stay on..... If it isn't working at all they don't... Did you jump the connector plug wires together to see if they come on? Also do you have 12v at the connector plug?

Do you have 12v at the tail light plugs themselves? Is it corroded at all?
