What does a yellow car light on the dashboard of a Toyota mean?

2005 Durango brake lights not working?

Then fix them. Start by checking the bulbs - those are dual filament bulbs, and it's possible that the filament for the brake lights was compromised. If those check out, see if you have power to the brake light circuit with the brake pedal depressed by using a test light. If you don't have power, what I'd do next is find the relay and test that. Remove the relay, check for power at the 30 post - it should be hot constantly. Then check for power at the 86 post with the brake pedal depressed. If you have power at the 86 pole with the brake pedal depressed and at the 30 pole, then the problem is either the relay itself, or the wiring along the 87 circuit. If you don't have power at the 30 pole, check to see if there's a fuse specifically for the brake lights. If you don't have power at the 86 pole with the brake pedal depressed, the problem is somewhere between the brake pedal and the relay. I'd start with the brake light switch itself if that were the case. Should be located at the top of the brake pedal.

Can a remote start alarm be installed on a manual car?

Yes, the clutch circuit must be bypassed so that when it is remote started the car thinks the clutch is depressed. Also there should be a neutral safety wire hooked up to the e-brake so the e-brake must be up in order for the remote start to initialize

Theres a fuse, called DRL, if that's missing or blown, or if the parking brake is depressed a tiny bit, they wont come on.


How do you change the bulb on the brake light?

Well you narrowed it down to an electrical problem, get yourself a dmm and start chasing wires.I've also seen a bulb burn out and short causing the fuse to blow when the brake pedal is depressed. double check your fuse again and if its still good have at it with the digital multimeter.


How do you test the vacuum pump on a 1997 7.3 diesel?

easiest way to test vacuum pump is , with engine off, pump brake pedal until pedal goes hard keep pressure on brake pedal and start engine if vacuum pump is good, you will feel the brake pedal go softer so you don't have to use as much effort for pedal to be depressed
