IF YOU'VE BEEN MEDDLING UP THERE NEAR WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOTS, YOU MAY HAVE KNOCKED A CONNECTION LOOSE
THIS SWITCH IS ON THE "AXLE" (NOT THE DRIVE AXLES) WHERE THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOTS
THE SWITCH MAY NOT BE EXACTLY IN THE RIGHT SPOT
THE WAY THIS KINDA SWITCH WORKS, MIGHT BE A LITTLE CONFUSING
THE SWITCH MAY BE REALLY WORN AND/ OR THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS MIGHT BE BURNT
LET'S TEST THIS MONSTER!
ONLY 2 WIRES INTO IT - SURELY IF THEY TOUCH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON (THAT IS, IF THIS SWITCH IS THE PROBLEM)
SO WE CAN DO THIS 2 WAYS
SIMPLY JUMPER ACROSS THE 2 CONNECTORS WHILE THEY ARE STILL CONNECTED
OR SNATCH THE CONNECTOR(S) LOOSE FROM THE SWITCH AND JUMP THE 2 WIRES USING A PAPERCLIP
THE LIGHTS SHOULD WORK BY ELIMINATING THE SWITCH FROM THE EQUATION AND "MAKING" THE CIRCUIT W/ THE PAPERCLIP (CAREFUL, DON'T SHORT THE PAPERCLIP TO ANYTHING ELSE DURING THE TEST)
IF THIS WORKS, YOU HAVE A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ISSUE
IF THAT DON'T TURN 'EM ON, SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG, IT'S NOT MR. SWITCH!
