1968 Brake switch help????

[robertd3]

Hi everybody,

I'm having a little issue that I plan to tackle this Thanksgiving weekend. When I press the brake pedal, I hear a wire 'short" buzz sound in my dash area and my front headlights dim and my brake lights go out.

What do you suspect is the culprit?

Thanks for all your expert help/trouble shooting!

Robert

It sounds like you have a short. You need to get under there with a light and move the pedal and see if you can find it. Good Luck. Marty

Be very careful and be sure you isolate the electrical problem. Believe me, you DON'T want to sizzle any of the wiring harness. It can be a bear to repair, and really expensive to replace.
