'86 XT Coupe "stop light"

Dec 07, 2003 4 Replies

This is minor, but driving me insane. My "stop light" warning light came on about a month ago, and I cant find any lights out, much less brake lights. The warning light only comes on when I depress the brake - the manual says this is because a brake light is out, but as far as I can tell, they all work. And yes, I had a friend come look in the middle of the night and we still cant find any lights out. what do I need to do, any suggestions??



Weird !

Keep checking them so you don't get pulled over. All the fuses good? Got any tape ? Heck, maybe you can pull a fuse to get rid of the errant light?

Nevermind, I just drove it.. the stop light warning was back, and still no lights out. i pulled the fuse and replaced it, no luck (but my dashlights were temporarily out) Also, i noticed that the fuse (for dashlights anyway) didnt match with the diagram on the fuse cover. Maybe i pulled the wrong fuse for brakelight?? Anyone else notice the discrepancy, any suggestions?
