Rear pedestal brake light
Anyone know why or ever have this happen to you? I have an '87 GN and noticed the rear window brake light (think they call it pedestal light) is stuck on? The tail light brakes are not on though. Even when I depress brakes it does not shut off?
Weird. Thoughts? |

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
Does your cruise work?
I would check the switch that rides against the brake pedal arm under the dash. It may need to be adjusted. No tools necessary.

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
Thanks, I think you're right. I got it to shut off by pulling upward on the brake pedal. Still seems odd that it was not activating the tailights if it was stuck?
Thanks |

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
I think the switch either has two 'switches' in it, or another is activated in the braking system. Not registering in my mind right now. Regardless, if you don't adjust the switch position, you will not have it 'fixed' for good.

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
Thanks again. Also, my cruise does not work either? So, to your original question of is "cruise working" I assume their is a activation switch on the pedal as well for disengaging cruise...as that why you asked?

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
Yes. When you hit the brakes, the cruise is deactivated. The whole assembly needs to be adjusted. Its not on the pedal, it rides against it.

Re: Rear pedestal brake light
Finally got it fixed, Keller was right, adjustment was off. My question, should there be some type of nut that goes on the threaded adjuster? Seems as though it will quickly move back out of position??
