While at the Carlisle gathering, several folks informed me my brake lights were not functioning......Danny Pip furnished a replacement bulb, moral support and first aid advice....Needless to say, the bulbs were not the problem....After getting home, checking the fuses and wiring, etc., I ordered replacement switches.....While awaiting delivery, my brake lights started working again, then they quit again.
While filling up at the local fuel farm, my wife pulls in and tanks up, and we leave together, with me in the lead...She is aware of the brake light problem and keeps a safe distance....On the way home, a rather large DEER (doe) jumps into the road ,almost on top of me, despite the almost straight exhaust....Buried the brake pedal into the carpet and prayed the TOO LATE light stayed out...It did.
Once at home, the wife tells me that the brake lights are working again.....As I had new light switches on the shelf now, I took my time doing the replacement....Dreaded bleeding the system, even though I have a vacuum type bleeder system...
Danny Pip had said it was a piece of cake in Carlisle, and it turned out to be just that.......Thanks Danny...
