I noticed my brake lights aren't working on my 70 standard bug. The brake warning light has had a bulb out for 15 or more years (I think I never replaced it because I wasn't sure how to get the little button out of the dash to get at the bulb.)
Anyhow, I checked the bulbs and used some emery cloth to clean the contacts in the housing and on the bulbs. I don't think they'd both go bad at the same time anyway.
I checked and actually replaced the fuse (8A white) in position #2 after cleaning the fuse holder contacts also.
Still not working. I suppose if one brake light switch on the dual MC went bad I wouldn't know it until the other went bad as well. So that could be two bad switches.
Or possibly there's a loose connection somewhere else.
Anyone (Speedy Jim?) have some ideas of how to go about troubleshooting this? I was planning on jumping the brake light switch wires to see if the lights go on next.
