Electrical Gremlin (continuation thread)

Does the brake light circuit go through the multi function turn signal switch? If so, the switch may be the culprit.

It's possible... Can anyone get their hands on the electrical circuits in question? I'll PM subford-- he's always got great diagrams.

The brake and turn signal ckts come together in the multi function switch and become one ckt to the tail lights.

Subford sent me some electrical diagrams via PM. I'll have a look at them a bit later and see if I can make any sense of this whole thing.

Remember? I started school and work this week

Tuesday and Thursday I have the opening shift-- gotta catch the 7:10 bus to get to campus

EDIT: Just realized this is in the Cert'd Tech Section. I'm going to make a new thread in the 8-9 gen forum.

Starting a new thread in the public forum to allow further discussion between non-techs. This is a continuation of the following thread:

Off topic, but school started out there this week? Doesn't start here until the 18th.

I was wondering how everyone was posting in this thread in the cert forum ...until i realized it was all mods.

Nah not Fall quarter. Yesterday was the first day of Summer Session 2. Summer is split into 2 halves-- SS1 and SS2. Classes can be taken during each session and cover all of the curriculum that is covered in a regular quarter.

 

[Brian_B]

They have two summer sessions here as well. The second one is nearly over though. Regular fall classes start the 18th.

I did not have any summer classes this time. I could not have taught them anyway, so it worked out well. I am just hoping I have a job in a few days.

ok, makes sense, i forget whats tied into the brake lights then

 

[mrfixit]

Used to be the dashlights were tied in, so that when you lost the brakelights, you KNEW it because the dash was out. Some vehicles the turn signals come on and stay on, too. I don't know about later models tho...
