problem #1

Aug 282007

Astro Van 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
Brake lights would not work. After a few hours of troubleshooting, I isolated the problem to a defective hazard switch. If pushed to the left, the brake lights worked. I plan on trying to fix it tomorrow, but saw that there is a recall on 2001 and 2002, but not on 2003. My van was built in late 2002. No doubt it has the same defective switch. Very dangerous situation can occur on the updated 01/02/08.
