Hi again, Y'all,
Well, here I am again with more problems. :-(
Now my brake lights are not working at all. The ground connections look
good. The bulbs are OK. I suspect that the switch on the brake pedal
may be faulty. Just one problem. I couldn't find a switch on the pedal. :-(
Duh.
Oh, I'm dealing with an '89 200TQ.
I did find a pair of wires connected to what SHOULD be the brake master
cylinder. They loint slightly upward and forward as they come out of the
master cylinder(^ that's s'posed to be a "p" above here). Have I found the
wires for the switch. If I have, how in the name of heaven do I replace a
bad switch? It ain't nuthin' like I expexted to find. (Maybe I should get
me a set of Bentleys?)
Recent repair history:
turbocharger intercooler replaced
turbocharger hose replaced
several belts replaced
brake pressure accumulator replaced
left front wheel bearings replaced
Coming up:
brake pads all around
struts inserts
My project for the coming week: get the bloomin' brake lights working.
Any suggestions/advice will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
