SOURCE: 1992 Honda Accord LX Brake Light Switch Repair

Of course you can make this repair! I'm wondering about the faulty bulb that shorted out all the brake lights...not sure if that's what happened. Your brake light switch is located on the brake pedal, up above where your foot goes. It has a plug in connector which you unplug, then loosen the locknut where it attaches to the pedal.Put in the new switch, lock nut 1st, then plug it in. Note that the locknut is the adjustment point that determines when your brake lights go on. Adjust the locknut so that the brake lights go on when the pedal is depressed within 1/2 an inch (13mm)of pushing down on it. If the switch is adjusted without enough play (say 1/8 inch or less), brake lights may flicker on and off when you go over a bump.If over 1/2 inch, brake lights might go on only if great force on pedal is used (or not at all, yikes!).For good diagrams of parts check out South Bay Honda (hondapartscheap)web site. You enter the year, model, engine, and you can scroll thru tons of parts. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to post it for me. countrycurt0

SOURCE: tail lights and brake lights not working with headlights on

We had the same problem with ours, that is a Saturn recall items. Check with your Saturn dealer to see if it is still in effect. It use to make our headlight switch get hot. I think it was a poor ground in the taillight housing, I use to wiggle the bulb plug-ins and that helped for a while, but after the recall was fixed it never did it again.

It sounds like a bad ground. Trace the wiring cable and look for one wire that comes out of the harness and attaches to the frame. make sure the connection is solid and there is no corrosion around the connection

Washed engine down and since then it won't change gear. Engine service lights start coming on.

Water probably got into some part of the electrical system and caused a short. Find someone with a computer code reader (if you can get the car to some store like AutoZone they have card readers available for free) and get the codes from the car's computer module. That will probably pinpoint the area you need to dry out and remove the short from.

Check your belts if they are damaged or if they fell off!! Your drive belts may have loosened or they're worn, causing the A/C and alternator to die. This in turn will result in gradual to immediate power loss. If you have more info...please post!!

No power on dome light and stereo

Sounds like you may have a short in the ignition switch. I advise replacing this. If the problem is still there, it may be that the stereo was wired wrong, or there is a short or broken wire further down.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Mitsubishi lancer coupe 1993 broken indicator

Check the bulbs, if you haven't already, if they are ok it's most likely the flasher, which is mounted on the fuse block under the dash.
