Greetings all,
My brakes lights, on my '66 BJ8, stopped functioning. My brake switch is located on the pedal (thinking this must be a mechanical switch) with the roller mechanism. I have done the following checks: bulbs are good, I pulled the two wires off the switch and jumped them - no lights came on, cleaned up all wires attached on stop light housings, all grounding wires in boot seem to be solid. I do have voltage to the switch. I thought with voltage to the switch and jumping the wires the lights should illuminate - not happening. I do have a third brake light (mounted on luggage rack) which has been working fine all along. Being this is my first Healey, not sure of next testing steps.
Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
