[TR] TR3 brake light switch test

[THOMAS FANSHER]

After a few beers at dinner -- here goes.  The green wires off the "fuse 
box" (after all there are only two) goes to the brake light switch on the 
TR3A and B.... if this is an earlier car I'm not sure. Anyway, it's not the 
brown wire side.  I could just turn the fuse around a couple of times, or 
remove the fuse and scuff it with sandpaper and all would be good. Not 
saying it WILL work, just something to check....
Have a great weekend
Tom

Thanks everyone for your help.

What fuse would I check?  I am not sure how the fuses work on this car.
There are two mounted vertically (one end sticking into the car) and two
mounted horizontally.  Do the ones mounted vertically do something?  All my
fuses seem good and the horn, rear running lights, windshield wiper, heater
blower, radio, starter, and dash lights all work.  I haven't tried anything
on the front clip as it is not attached.

Thanks,
Jeremiah

a bad connection at the fuse box will cause this,too.
That's an easy check.
