Bought an Speedway turn signal unit:
Heavy Duty Turn Signal Switch
Part # 91062860, about 2 months ago.
Wired it according to their diagram and everything was working fine.
Brake lights stopped working month later, I thought it was the pressure switch, so changed to an electric switch.
Got 3 "brake lights on" when testing the pedal 3 times, then nothing after that.
Still no brake lights, so I started testing for voltage all along the path with elec. brake switch out of the loop and the wires twisted together/connected.
Plenty of voltage into the turn signal, but nothing coming out for the brake lights.
However, when emergency flashers are on, the brake filament lights up on the dual filament rear bulbs (I discovered the brake lights and emerg. flasher lights share the same wire on each side).
Thought about just wiring around the turn signal switch to the brakes until I read this:
Railroad stated in an earlier post: Your brake lights have to go thru the turn signal. The turn signal flasher interrupts the brake light circuit when the brakes are on.
Anybody else had short lifespan with this Speedway item ?
My guess is I need to return the turn signal to Speedway, if they won't warrantee it have to buy another one.
I do have fused circuits on everything.
