High Mount Brake Light, Not Working
The Z failed state inspection today because my high mount brake light would not work but the primary brake lights work fine.
Brake light bulbs are fine but not getting any juice. Fuse box will be checked in the am, but what else to look for? Thx. |

I would look at the ground for the high light. There is one thing Gordan stresses alot and that is that grind the star washer into the frame.

Re: High Mount Brake Light, Not Working
Had the same exact problem last inspection! Bumper lights worked, hi mount did not! Easy fix!!
Switch on the brake pedal has two seperate contacts inside. I removed it (push out with your thumb), disassembled it, cleaned it (WD-40), reassembled it, and presto magico, it works now. I plugged it into the harness and tested it with my thumb before I reinstalled it. |
