Hello BBs,
I drive a 93 240 sedan and am really stumped by a no brake light issue. Here is the problem and what I’ve done so far to remedy the situation.
Problem: Right-side brake light doesn’t work. The taillight is lit but no brake light. All other lights work on the rear assemblies including the left and upper brake lights.
Remedies:
- Replaced bulb
- Checked fuse
- Checked and cleaned bulb holder contacts
- Checked ground connections
- Checked the connection on the white plastic pin connector that clamps onto the printed circuit board and using tweezers, bent the metal points closer together for a better contact. I even added little metal strips to help with the connection
- Finally, just last night, I replaced the circuit board with a new one.
So after all of that I still have no brake light. I am not too apt at testing for voltage but I think this is the natural next step in diagnosing the problem but I will need some guidance.
I failed my NJ inspection and my 45 days are almost up. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
