[Spridgets] Brake Lights

[Michael MacLean]

 OK, cleaned off the fuses.  Turn signals back, but no indicator light center dash.  Running lights part of the rear lights works (worked last night), but still no brake lights.   Jumped a screwdriver across the contacts of the brake light switch and still no lights.  The bulbs that are in there are LiteZupp LED replacements that have been on there for several years.  I am going to buy a couple of 1157 bulbs and put those in to see if I have brake lights.  Cheaper than buying a new brake light switch at first.  These cars remind me of that movie with Glen Close when she said, "I will not be ignored!"  They hate to sit.

 After the fuses, jump the 2 lugs on the pressure fitting on the inner wheel arch. No brake lights bad switch, or lack of pressure.Rarely it’s both bulbs at once.AlanBut since it’s the turn signal also,  I agree with Rick. Fuse or bad connections at the box

My Bugeye has been sitting for a few months while I was working on my BN2 restoration and getting my "new to me" MGB GT in shape to be a daily driver.  So, I get in the Bugeye tonight to move it out of the garage for a little project on the MGB.  Surprise, the brake lights and turn signals have stopped working.  Any ideas before I look at the wiring diagram to see I still don't know what's wrong. Mike MacLean
