Sorry to hear about your clutch...

Well i finally fixed the domain name thing :roll:

My car is still at the shop... we're looking for a good place to weld the new intake...

tomorrow im getting the adapter plate for the ignition, after that we're installing the timing belt and the intake cam and send the car for the electrician to start working on the wiring.

i might go to get some sleep now... gotta work at 8:30 am...

Well, my brake lights stopped working on my Leganza last night.
I checked the fuses, they're good.
Checked for power at the fuse block, it has power.
Checked the switch connected to the brake pedal; it works.

Not really sure what else to check.

I also need to get my Lanos to the dealer for service within the next 600 miles because the air bag light is on before the car reaches 36,000 miles and it is no longer covered by the warranty.

I doubt it is the globes. Why would both the left and right and center lights all burn out at the same time?
Also, I do not know where the relays are. In fact, I did not know they even had relays.

well, apparently they checked my relays before they found out it was my switch the first time. the second time the wiring in the indicator wand wore through, which made my brake lights stop functioning

I took the brake light switch out, took it apart, cleaned the contacts and it is working fine as tested with a DMM.

The lights still don't work.

I turned the marker lights on and jumpered a 12V+ wire from one of the marker light bulbs to one of the brake light bulbs and all the brake lights came on.

So, it is not the fuse, switch or bulbs.

Does anyone know where the relay is?
I can not find one that says it is for the brake lights.
