The real question is "how can a normal adult hand possibly change a brake, backup or signal light bulb?". I have found that correct arm angle is the key to success - failing that, a "handy" kid brother or sister.
Bulb warning failure relay, a big round and red relay, back the ashtray
What i did on mine was bought some electrical grease, greased all the contact at the lights and have not had a problem with it since, that was five years ago.
Check for a brake light fuse
The tail lights are on a separate wiring than the blinker/brake lights. Look for a blown fuse or a broken/loose wire.
If you are talking about the dash indicator light, it should go out if all the brake lights are functioning properly. Don't forget the brake light in the rear window.
a fuse or fulty wiring the brake lights are useually out the same time as the dash lights if that helps any
It is the same as the brake reservoir. You should see a line heading from that to the clutch master cylinder. Cheers.
To the right of the heat/air levers
I had the same problem with my 1987 Trans Am GTA. The turn signal indicator has gone bad and needs to be replaced. That will get the brake lights working again.
NO! They did not have a code box until 1989 Yes they all do. The code box is right in front of the brake booster in the engine compartment on the drivers inner fender well. There is a tester there and a series of blinking lights basically. You will need a manual to decipher the number of blinks.
Check the brake light fuse first and if good you need to replace the brake light switch that is on top of the brake pedal under the dash.
Found the wiring diagram for where the colored wires go to connect to the bulb connectors, so I'm thinking my wiring to replace the circuit board is not correct. This is a 1987 Volvo 240dl. Can anyone offer any assistance? I tried following the circuit board as to where to place the wires, but it cannot be correct. If anyone has hard wired theirs, please advise.
