Brake Light Switch - '90 LS400
My brake lights don't come on at all and I have to push that little Shift-Release button every time I want to shift out of park. Meanwhile my rear lights com on just fine when I turn on the headlights.
I suspect that my problem is the brake light switch and I've ordered a new one.
But, geez, the old one is in a tough spot to get to! There's a little black plastic box with a little wiring harness coming out of it and it's in the way of the brake light switch. I don't know what the box is for and I can't figure out how to detach the box. It's probably a no-brainer but if someone can give me a clue as to how to get this out, I'd be forever grateful.
Shame on me, but I will also check to see if there's a fuse for this thing, but I don't think this is the problem. Is there a relay I should be checking also?
Any tips would be appreciated.
