Consumer Description

#1 WIRE TO THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BRAKE PREDAL BROKE AT THE WIRE TO SWITCH CONNECTOR. THE WIRE LOOM WAS MOUNTED TO0 SHORT AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. THE INITIAL PROBLEM WAS FOR INTERMITTEN BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AT WHICH TIME I TROUBLE SHOOTED THE PROBLEM MY SELF. WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN STOPPING CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. ADDITIONAL WIRE WAS ADDED TO THE FACTORY WIRING AT THE SWITCH CONNECTOR TO ALLOW FOR BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. THIS COULD CAUES POTENTIAL WIREING PROBLEMS AT A LWTER DATE. ALL REPAIRS WERE MADE BY SELF. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *AK
