nahurry Posted March 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2017 My left side brake light is not working. Good bulbs, good fuse, like new bulb harness. The parking light works on that side as does the turn signal, but no brake light. My car is a 73 240Z.

SteveJ Posted March 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2017 It's probably the turn signal switch. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/hazard-switch-brake-light-turn-signal-circuit-analysis/ https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/turn-signal-repair/ I'm two hours away if you want a definitive diagnosis.

SteveJ Posted March 6, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 6, 2017 It would be unusual for there to be an issue with the turn signal after Dave reconditioned it, but it is not impossible. The turn signal is the point where the brake light circuit and turn signal circuit meet that could cause the issue that you describe. Fortunately a meter and knowledge of the circuits can give us a more definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted March 7, 2017 Share #12 Posted March 7, 2017 @nahurry Thanks for the reply. I was wondering what color your car was because I saw a Z the other day on the south end of Woodruff rd but it was orangish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
