Subject:ELECTRICAL: need help diagnosing non-working brake/backup lights
From:Jim Felder
Date:Sat, 11 Oct 2014 09:43:09 -0500

Was apprised yesterday that neither of my brake likes are working. Don't
know how long the problem has been going on.

I have 12 between the center (crosswise) terminal on the connectors to the
brake sensors and the pair (vertical) to either side.

I have no 12v at the connector in the lamp housings.

Backup light not working either.

Since neither are working, it could of course be the switches on the MC,
but they are both relatively new and, in the past when one has failed, it
has failed closed so that my brake lights don't go off.
