Howdy, my herd!
My 1974 brake job is complete. I rebuilt the rear drums and converted the front to vacuum booster assisted discs. I tracked down a couple of leaks anfter bleeding the system and remedied them.
I reconnected the battery and immediately noticed one rear brake light was lit. No one was in the Bronco. I hopped in and pressed the brake pedal but the lights did not change. Passenger side brake light is on by itself, driver side is dark. I read a few posts on here and decided to change the brake light switch. Twenty bucks later and I’m still at square one. I used a circuit tester at the driver brake light and got nothing. The battery is new last month. The fuse was replaced last month and still intact. New LED kit from WH about six months ago. LED switches installed under the dash. So I know the battery, fuse, switch, and led light should be good.
Do you think I have a wire issue? Maybe something running from the switch is shorting put between it and the light?
The brake lights were working perfectly before I did the brake job.
As always, toss me a life ring!
