ELECTRICAL

At a glance

What can fail

The center high-mounted brake light can draw enough electrical current to overheat the brake light switch, melting its plastic internal parts. This jams the switch plunger in either the ON or OFF position, making the brake lights stay on or off regardless of brake pedal operation.

What the fix does

The brake light switch will be replaced with a new switch designed to handle higher electrical current without overheating.
