gibvel Posted March 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2008 I'm posting this for another member West Texas Winds. He posted in the Metzler update thread and I thought I'd move it to a better location so it will give it more exposure. Here's what he posted: Somebody please help me I have checked all the switches I have teail lights but know brake lights Have i missed something All help is greatly aprensioned Thanks West Texas Winds I sent him a PM but I didn't know he had an 87 and I gave advice for the 2nd gens.

gibvel Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted March 29, 2008 He's already a member "West Texas Winds". He just posted this in a different forum and I thought I'd put it where it has more visibility and more help than I can be. I've already sent him a PM asking him some questions and, hopefully giving a few suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandcrotchety Posted March 29, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2008 Well, this is what I would do. Take out the bulb. Use a multimeter set for 15vdc and while the + lead touching the little brass connection and the - is clipped to ground, have someone step on brake. If I got a reading, then I would replace the bulb and see what happens. No reading, then I would remove seat and find the nearest connection and take it apart and check there. If it gets a reading there then I would clean the connection, put back together and see if it lights up. If so, problem solved, if no reading, go to next connection and so on. If I got a reading at first connection and bulb don't light up after cleaning then the problem has to be between the connection and bulb and I would inspect the wire, the ground and even the socket for some sort of problem.
