Can anyone tell me how long it will take to put in a Stop Light Switch?(Brakes Lights not working). Any helpful hints in installation?

 

About 5 minutes. Try not to break the fragile plastic clips.

Are you sure the switch is bad?

 

Bulbs...fuse ok...all other lights work other than brake lights...all went out at same time...any suggestions?

 

Ignition switch or head light switch.

How do you know that the bulbs are good?

 

Tested bulbs and they light up in other slots...Just going by the suggestions of many other Volvo owners...it will cost me 30 bucks to find out..but very open to other suggestions

 

I linked a couple of video's on the other thread you posted on. Ignition switch as well as the head light switch can cause brake light issues. This I know.

You should get an ohm meter and check for power at the switch before replacing it.

 

Thank you for your assistance... I will check out the videos and let you know...

 

Robert can you explain to me how a head light switch affects brake lights?


I would expect them to affect tail lights but not brake lights.


I am confused.




I would have thought either the brake light switch, or the bulb failure warning relay might be the issue.

 

I can't see the other clip on the Brake light switch...how do you get at it without braking it?
