83 Toyota Sunrader No Break Lights.


Recommended Posts

Hey all, hope everyone is well. having an issue with with the sunrader. break lights stopped working (both). I replaced the bulbs and swapped the fuse. still nothing. no voltage to the break light housing wire. tail and headlights working fine. overhead lights working fine. Any other suggestions on what to try?

simple switch on the brake pedal. hard to reach if you're old like me.  also brake light fuse is separate from running lights

should be nothing but wire to the brake lights.  you know they are not the same as turn signals and running lights.

It will involve some climbing around and I’m not sure what length your coach is but the factory wiring harness usually has to be extended with a short jumper to allow the stretch to the rear lighting. On my 1979 this harness runs along the inside of the right frame rail to the rear. Many times the manufacturers used butt style crimp connectors which can deteriorate over time and loose contact.

 

The factory wires are all color coded. Find the splice for the brake wire and test for power on both sides of the connector. Or do like I did and replace all the connectors with new style crimps.

worst case, run a new wire to either side brake light socket. They’re tied in tandem so either will work.
