  • Automatic transmission

Dt the brake lights were not working, checked the bulbs, had a topper wired into them. Took that off and disconnected it. Tried flashers, they worked. Checked fuses, figured it was one of the two switches, either the one on the reservoir or the one the pedal up under the dashboard. Found out yesterday on July 20, 2005.

Fuse connected to the brake lights blew out three times. Dealer could not determine the cause. It was later determined that circuit #13 controlled the stop lamp, turn signals, hazards lights and speed control module. The consumer believes this is a dangerous combination.
