Okay, about a week ago I had started a thread that my brake lights were out. The turn signals work fine. I didn't pull any fuses to check them because nobody mentioned that there may be a single specific fuse for the brakes alone. A couple people mentioned the gizmo right on the brake pedal and one guy even posted a pic. So I'm laying on my back under there tonight with my head jammed down by the pedals (I'm 6'3") and find that piece. Great, wonderful. But I notice that there are NO wire connections onto the two contact spades!! That can't be right, can it? I've had the car for years and nobody has ever said anything about my brakes not working. The part that really ticks me off is that I can't find the missing wire connections to plug them back on to this piece!!! They HAVE to be there, don't they?
Now here's another queer part. I got pulled over a couple weeks ago for expired plates (I'm waiting for my collector plates in the mail) and the officer didn't say one thing about brake lights being out. It was during the day... possible he didn't notice??
I did do the Baer disc brake conversion this past winter... but I can't see how that would make a difference. Like I said.. the cop didn't even notice.
Either way I'm frustrated as heck..
Please tell me what the heck is going on?
First I'd like to know above all (checking wires, connections, fuses, etc) that there indeed should be a connection to that gizmo on the brake pedal. That would at least be a start. Maybe I could get a replacement harness for it?
Thanks for your time, people.
