- On my 59 TR3, my brake lights do not work. Bulbs and fuses are good. I changed my switch at the brake jucture (pressure switch?). Connections seem to be good. Any ideas as to where to look? thanks, J

- Always a good thing to check the ground path for the brake lights. Also, check for continuity in the circuit when the brake pedal is pushed, i.e., does the switch actually close? Cheers. -- Michael D

- Do they go out completely when you step on the brake with the running lights on ? That's two bad grounds at the rear. See http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Electrical/TR6Sockets/TR6Sockets.ht

- IMO, another new switch. The last 3 switches I tried (including one from an American car) all lasted less than 6 months. I got mad and converted to a TR4-style switch (actually from a Dodge I think)
