Re: [AMC-list] Javelin Brake Issue

[eddie allison <hot_rod_eddie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,
I have had this issue before in my American. Once I replaced the switch, another time the fuse was loose in the fuse panel. What is interesting is that you say you ran a hot wire to the switch, and the had continuity, but still no lights.  I don't remember if those lights are one or two wires. If it is one wire, the bulb may be loose in the socket and not getting a good ground. Of course you should check continuity to the lights, and that will give you some good info.
Good luck.

Ok. All the lights on my Javelin work fine(except license lamp).....BUT the brake lights are dead! My 1970 Javelin sporatically has brake lights. Most of the time...NOT? They didn't work when i got it years back. Replaced the switch..they worked for awhile.....then..not. Another switch.....same deal. Now......no brake lights. It has power TO the switch and ACROSS the switch to the wiring harness  when you move the plunger. I wiggled the wires on fuse panel one time...they worked for abit. (LUCK i imagine). I've even ran a seperate hot lead to the switch ....nothing. Is there a breaker/other circuit protection somewhere aft of the switch????? Driving me nuts....and killing my arthritic neck being up under the dash. THANKYOU in advance for any helpful info, Joe
