Fellow air-cooled drivers,
The rear brake lights on my 1974 Super Beetle won't turn on unless I'm practically standing on the brake pedal. I roll the car backwards in my garage and apply the brakes. The car comes to a complete stop but the brake lights aren't on. Does this sound like a master cylinder problem? I did install a Brazilian master cylinder last year (I didn't know that German ones were still available).
Also, are the 2 three-prong brake light switches redundant? If one fails the other switch turns on the brake lights?
Thank you
