no brake lights, fuel pump making weird noises too.

[NZM.031]

hey all, long time member, first time poster.

i have a slight problem with my brake lights....they dont work! the tail lights work fine, ive checked the fuses and the globes. all fine. could it be the switch?? anyone else had a problem with this??

also, my large external fuel pump has been making a few weird noises... normally the whine doesnt change but it has been a bit all over the shop, occasionally stalling and idling roughly, but not all the time. it was a hot day and we had been driving for most of it, the pump was pretty warm to touch and so was the surge tank.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

I'd check the brake switch at the pedal to see if it is still working, than check for a signal at the brake light if the switch is working. There may be a short somwhere down the line.

As for the fuel pump, you've got me. Has it ever done it before? Is it getting constant power or was the tank getting low and causing it to run dry?
