How do you fix a break in the instrument gauge circuitry that's causing some of my lights not to come on?
The method of repair depends on the part of a circuit which is "open" [broken or cut wire, or a circuit board conductor strip]
- If the problem is a cut or broken wire, the fix is to PROPERLY SPLICE the wire, including proper cleaning first, twisting the wires together, soldering them, and properly insulating the splice.
- If the problem is the grounding of a "hot" wire to a metal part of the sheet metal, the fix is to PROPERLY insulate the bare part of the wire to prevent contact with the grounded metal.
- If the problem is a broken conductor in the "etch" on the instrument cluster printed circuit board, the fix is to clean the ends of the broken etch, and with a soldering "pen," the proper solder [acid free] and great care, to "fill" / solder the two broken ends of the etch conductor together.
Good luck.

What makes Christmas lights blink?
A strand of blinking lights has one bulb that allows electricity to go to the other lights until a bimetallic strip in it gets hot enough to bend the strip and break the circuit causing electricity to stop going to the other lights. The lights then stay off until the bimetallic strip cools and bends back to its original position to conduct electricity again. There are other more complicated ways to control strings of lights using electronic control circuitry, but the blinker bulb is the way most of them work because of its low cost.
Why would the high beams work but not low beams and break and tail lights only work if instrument panel lights work 1986 300zx have checked bulbs and fuses replaced switch behind brake pedal?
headlight switch
Peugeot 306 brake lights wont work all the other lights do also the brake lights come on when headlights are turned on whats problems?
Since the break lights turn on when the head lights are activated, the problem is probably in the wiring of your break lights. Someone may have accidentally disconnected the wires of your break lights to your head lights.
Where are the connections for crown vic brake lights?
it connected to a break lights switch, attached to a break pedal
Are tail lights and brake lights the same on a 1999 Nissan altima?
Tail lights and break lights are different things pretty much all the time. You see, tail lights run all the time the car is on and break lights only turn on when the break is pressed. If you would like to find out which lights are the breaklights, have a friend watch the back of the car, turn it on, push the breaks a few times and see which lights flash. The lights that flash are your break lights!
Why wont the brake lights work on my Mitsubishi montero when the i turn on the headlights?
Break lights come on when you step on the break, they do not come on when the head lights are turned on.
Why wouldn't the rear turn signal and hazards work if the front works and so do the rear brake lights I have changed the rear bulbs with no result?
A break in the wiring for these circuits exists somewhere between the fuse panel and the rear assemblies. A wiring diagram would be useful in determining the point most likely for the break. The brake lights are on a separate circuit than the hazard flashers and the turn signals in many vehicles; and, the front indicators are a branch of the same circuitry which runs to the rear. The break in the wiring is downstream of this junction.
How do you change the tail lights and fog lights on a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville?
Hello, all you have to do is turn the back of the light post and pill the lights out for both the fog lamps and the break lights. For the break lights, its less work to change.
Can a cell phone break?
Anything electrical can break ! A phone could be dropped in water (which may 'short-out' the circuitry). You could damage the power socket - making it impossible to recharge the phone.
What causes break lights not work?
It could be you fuse or the switch under you break.
You have a 2000my fontera and the dash gauges only seem to work when the lights are turned on has anyone had a similar problem?
Difficult one this,can only take a guess.There may be a break in the instrument cluster printed circuit so that there is no 12v feed to the guages,then when lights are on the power to the panel lamps is starting the gauges up. Also,there could be a damaged/bent connector on the instrument multi-plug giving the same result.
How do you prevent from tail lights staying on the whole time?
If your referring to tail lights just turn off your headlights and they will turn off. If your referring to break lights take your foot of the break pedal.
