Re: 98 Chevy Lumina Brake Light/Turn Signal Problem

I was wondering if someone responded, I didnt get a confirmation someone edited my entry. So I would turn it to the right to close the gap between the switch and the pedal and turn it left to make it bigger, I gotcha.

I cant remove the clip I dont have the right tools to do so and its installed and I dont want to risk breaking the clip. If I just push the lever a little bit forward after I have turned my right turn signal on they work just fine. But I have noticed that my brake lights dont even light up at all now, neither one does like they should when they are on at night.

This is just a messy thing, I wonder how much I could get for my car maybe $4000 if I am lucky?

The brake light switch has "threads" on it when it fits into the bracket...it can be raised or lowered as needed to be at a proper height over the pedal...IIRC you remove a clip, slide it up or down as required, snap the clip back on.

Bulbs will cause the fast flash if burned out or reversed, like he said, due to incorrect impedance in the circuit...but they also do the same thing when the rear circuit is open as happens when the multiswitch goes bad...you said moving the signal stalk slightly will make them slow down to correct speed? The lights are working back there when when you make that happen, most likely...have someone watch while you do it...
