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.

How do you clear the tail lights on a 1987 accord?

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.


How do you change the brake lights on your 1987 Volvo 760?

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.

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.


Where is the brake light switch on a 1987 mercury grand marquis?

The brake light switch is under the dash hooked to the brake pedal at about midway up. It is a little switch that is like a push button that goes "CLICK" when activated, sending a pulse to the lights telling them when to turn on and off.


Why on a 1987 Toyota Camry when the headlights are on the brake lights are always on but go off when you press on the brakes?

Any time you have an strange problem with lights it is a poor ground. Your tail lights are back feeding through the brake lights instead of going to ground. I would start by running a jumper wire to the tail light and brake light ground and I would guess the problem would be fixed. You might also want to look at your break light failure indicator. It commonly goes bad in these models.

The tail lights are on a separate wiring than the blinker/brake lights. Look for a blown fuse or a broken/loose wire.

1987 Volvo 240DL hard-wired rear lights can't figure out brake and tail light wires go?

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.


In a 1987 Accord Lx what is the REC button for and what does the brake lamp light indicate and how do you make it turn off It is my first car and It didn't come with a manual?

The REC button is to recycle the air in your car. The Brake lamp indicator light is warning you that either your brake lights are burnt out or are about to burn out. Mine went on prior to a signal light burning out.


Front and rear left side panel lights and brake lights on 1987 supra do not work however the bulbs are good What can be the cause and how do you fix it?

It could be the brake failure sensor in this year there is a wire that shorts out. All you have to do is find you brake light wire going in and the wire coming out of this sensor. Splice only those two wires and connnect and tape them off. Your lights should all work now.
