 |
|
Hello, I have a 68 Fasty and I have a Brake light problem. When I swithc the key on and hit the brakes NADDA, when I turn the light switch on the tail lights come on fine, but when I hit the brakes they go out. I know I have probably just have a couple of wires mixed up but this is driving me NUTS!!!! I have searched this forum and have printed out the color diagram for my car but I am still stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,
Phil |

| Dose your FASTBACK have a bad brake light sensor. You can find it on the master cylinder, should have wires coming off of it. |
