mjeff87 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Driving back from the junkyard today, a guy in a car behind me pulls up and tells me I have no brake lights, so I drive the rest of the way toggling the parking lights when I stop so noone rearends me. Troubleshoot at home and fixed it (turned out to be a loose wire on the brake light switch I swapped in when I did the dual diaprahm booster upgrade last year) but in the process I pulled the 5A instrument light fuse to check it and it crumbled in my fingers. Started pulling the rest of them, same thing. I had a leaking clutch master a couple of years ago, and doused the entire fuseblock with electrical cleaner which cleaned the block ok, but I guess the fuses were a delayed reaction. Moral of the story, check your clutch master! Jeff Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 :eek: Good save. Nice of that guy to tell you that your brake lights were out. Everything works after you replaced the fuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Glad I have the AW4. One less thing not to worry about. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 actually it wasn't the fuse that caused the problem with the brake lights, it was a splice I made last year to the brake light switch. I was messing around up under the dash yesterday, and I guess I must have pulled the wiring and loosened the connector :oops: Funny thing is, all of those things that used to be called fuses^^^ were still working when I pulled them (or pieces thereof).
