Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've posted here but I'd like to get some ideas for my latest issue.
I have a 1959 VW Bug with dot 5 brake fluid and old style screw terminal brake light switch.
I realize that the dot5 sometimes eats the membrane in these switches and causes them to malfunction, and I've been under the impression that this occurs every couple of years or so...
Brake lights were working fine and then recently remain on all the time. So I changed out the master cylinder switch with a brand new one but that hasn't seemed to solve the problem (lights still on constantly) They will blink briefly when I press on the brake pedal.
Do you think the new switch is bad too, or could it be air in the line or something....bad ground somewhere..???
Any troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated.
