Re: stoplight switch

If the 3rd brake light is working and the LT & RT are not then the brake light switch is OK. The 3rd light is a direct feed from the switch. The feed for the LT & RT comes off the switch also but then goes thru the relay (mentioned above) then thru the turn signal switch (multi function) and then out to the lights.

Along with those 2 items to look at is the wiring.

Also, the turn and stop bulbs are one in the same and the wiring coming from the turn switch is the same. So I don't think there is a problem there.

Just saw a 3rd thing. In the underhood fuse block is "Maxi Fuse 2" (30a). This supplies the power thru the relay. The brake switch signal "energizes" the relay.

Hope this isn't too confusing. Good luck.............Steve
