Is there current to and from the stop light switch? Fuse 1 under the dash controls the stop and turn signals. If it is OK, the wiring runs through the turn signal switch before it gets to the rear. Your signals and brakes are on the same bulb. Good luck. Click here and scroll all the way down. There is a diagram of the lighting there. It is figure 26.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

on the 2 wires running into the switch there was power on one of the wires and no power on the other, i assumed that 1 is power in and the other is power out, i guess I should have checked the new switch to see if it was good the one thing I nocticed when checking the bulbs was that they werent all the same they where mixed and matched all dual filiment but not the same, but again when putting a light probe on the empty socket there was no power
