[QUOTE="Tanker_01, post: 425782, member: 18763"] I have owned my '89 YJ about a month now. The other day on the way to work early a co-worker of mine informed me once we got to the parking lot that my brake lights were not working. I took a look and started to diagnose the issue and this is what I found. Brake lights do not work when brake depressed (obviously), turn signals work correctly, hazards work correctly, when I turn on DRL or headlights the taillight works correctly, no fuses blown. Over all of these functions the brake light does not function. I went ahead and did some research and figured out where the brake switch was and when I went down there to look I discovered that it was disconnected from the plug... Found my issue, NOT. When I plug in the brake switch the brake lights work... all the time, even with the key off. I would be led to think that the switch is malfunctioning? Is there any way to rebuild or reset the switch or will it just be easiest to order a new one? [/QUOTE]
