[Tigers] No Brake Lights

[Ron Fraser]

Jim
	One basic problem with the pressure switch is the pressure needed to
activate it.  Light braking generally does not activate the switch or the
brake lights  I tried a low pressure switch once which worked with light
braking but it crapped out too.

	I installed an electrical switch on the pedal for quicker brake
light activation and for safety reasons.

Thanks, Ron. You nailed it. Connected the two wires, turned on the ignition,
and viola, brake lights. New part is on its way from SS.

Thanks to all the others who responded as well.

	There is a hydraulic pressure switch at the 5 way brake line
connector; front right under the hood.

Jumper the wires there and see if you have brake lights.

I have no brake lights. The rear tail lights and turn signals work, so bulbs
or ground are not the issue. I can't find anything electrical associated
with the brake pedal. What actually activates the brake lights? Thanks!



BTW, Tigger was accepted for the Hilton Head Concours, first weekend of
November.
