Hi all,
I seem to have a strage problem with my brake lights / pedal,
After noticing i've been driving around with no brake or reversing lights I checked and the fuse had blown. I replaced the fuse and it hasn't gone since.
My issue is when I depress the brake pedal, the engine labours - there is a considerable change in engine noise, as if the alternator is under a heavy load. Even if I turn on all my spotlights there is hardly any engine labouring.
I've checked bulbs, connections and all the wiring looms in sight, no chafing or warm wires.
I replaced the fuse with a 3 amp and it still didn't blow, which makes me think there is a problem in the circuit before the fuse - could there be an issue with the pedal switch?
Has anyone had this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated.
