Subject:Brake Light Switches
From:John Rodgers

'91 Carat, auto tranny (maybe they all have them) - brake lights won't
go of - stuck "On". pulled the fuse to protect the circuit.

Question: Does the Carat - particularly the '91 Carat - use a pair of
three connector brake light switches - or 2 connector brake light switches.

I ask the question before I tear everything apart under the instrument
pod cover trying to see just how they are configured. I am pretty sure
at this point the switches are bad (sat for 10 years unused) and need
replacing, but before ordering, I need to be certain I'm ordering the
right switch configuration. Both types have been used in the Vanagons at
one time or another. I just don't want to take t all apart at this
point, just to give it a look-see.

Thanks.

John
