Center Mounted Brake Light

[ajszig 0]

All of a sudden it seems, my center brake light won't light-up when the brake is depressed.

I took the part off yesterday and each of the 8 mini-lamps (I think they are H9)were ok. I read out each of the contacts and each had a DC voltage (forgot how much).

But they won't light - and all fuzes are ok.

Anyone experience this before? Any suggestions as to where the problem lies?

Thanks a bunch.

So you know that you have good bulbs, and there is power coming in, did you check the ground ?

I will do that - I found some articles that suggested what you are saying - the leads to the lamp grounded to an aluminum grommet that can get corroded.

Simplest test = When you probe the bulb contact to check for juice, and you have it, check the ground lead at the connection point. If there is no ground connection the grounfd lead will show live just like the incoming lead.

Good luck, Lou
