 Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2012 6:59 pm Post subject: Brake Warning Light Mixup |
 |
|
I'm looking at my wiring diagram, and have searched (will continue doing more of both!)
I get a fast blinker on the right turn signal, and the brake warning light blinks with the turn signal light.
The left blinker works fine, with no brake warning light.
The brake warning light comes on when the Hazard switch is pulled.
The bus does not start (assuming lack of spark, but haven't chased it down yet).
Not sure what I did to start all this. I checked my valves and changed the oil. I don't think I disturbed any wiring. Went to re-start it and it turned over, but didn't offer. Then I noticed the turn signal issues.
Any ideas to get me started?

Clean the bulb sockets and ground connections for the RR tail light assy. to start with, can't do much for the no start without more information.

Thanks for the idea, I'll do that in the morning.
It has to be something stupid I jostled, combined perhaps with bad/dirty connections or grounds. The lights worked fine this morning, and the engine was running an hour earlier.

Busdaddy, you were correct. Thank you for help.
I had read that in several of your other replies before (and after) I posted. I should have tried that first I guess.
The engine not starting is what threw me off. I still have no idea why the engine wasn't starting last night. I don't think the tail light ground should impact that at all. Started right up this morning (after I cleaned up the ground back there. Didn't try before though).
