[BioHzrd]

Is there ne way i can short it out to make sure its that before reno sting me for a new one ??

 

[ben_r1]

Take the two wires off back and connect them maybe ?

 

[BioHzrd]

too dark atm and cant get my head under to see whats connected into it will have to take lower dash off tomoz after work !

12v is what should be going through the fuse right ?? as will go over the terminals with a tester when iget the chance

 

[mickstoke]

the switch may have just slipped up out of the clip!

 

[ben_r1]

More than 12v, A multimeter or discharge tester should read about 13-14v on a healthy battery.

How much of that goes to the brake lights though i dont know, electrickery is a weak subject for me lol :rasp:

 

[BioHzrd]

RIGHT urgent lol what do i short to put them on perminently so i know its the switch there is

Orange and Yellow and then Black and Red - orange and yellow are thicker cables red n black are alot thinner (1.5mm vs 0.75mm if were talking sparky cable sizes)

[mickstoke]

if you have another piece of wire put it in the end of the plug to join the two terminals and if it light the bulbs then its your switch!

 

[BioHzrd]

[mickstoke]
