I'm about to install my rear tail lights and want to understand how to diagnose any problems. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,792 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,792 | The switch is "normally closed- - -held open". That means the brake lights will operate anytime the pedal linkage allows the spring-loaded switch arm to move. The pedal bellcrank should hold the switch in the open position until you step on the brake, making the brake lights come on.
