Hey guys,
I have a few questions ...
The truck was bought last year... Not being used yet.
I bought a 12 Tag to haul my Backhoe , So I'm going over the lights...
Blinkers were backwards , but easy to fix.
Finally the wife is here to Jump in the cab and give me help
Hmmm,
After getting NO brake lights on the Truck...
First place I tested was the Fuses on the Passenger side Dash panel...
The Brake lamp Was "Hot" both sides of the circuit breaker...
Odd thing... The line is Hot with the key "OFF"
but key on...Nothing...
I tried the brakes with key off too... No brake lights...
I tried testing the senders under the hood...
Two pressure senders........... Two pole , and three pole...
Nothing would go hot ( Key on or off hitting brakes )
I tested the rear Trailer socket... No Joy , Key on or off
.
First Question... Should I move wires at the ignition switch to make
the Stop lamp HOT during "Key on"...
From there... I need hot to the sender right , so it can pass it to the lights?
Any Idea why TWO senders ? Is it the Trailer Hand Brake and the regular Foot brake ?
.
Thanks for any reply...
