Brake light Problems

[48bill]

In my 48 F-1 pick up I have a weird situation with the brake lites.  I have a Centech wiring kit installed and have had no problems for 30,000 miles until this week.

The 1157 bulbs are both good and the bright light element works with the right and left directionals and the hazard flashers.  The problem is that the left (driver's side) brake light doesn't lite when the pedal is depressed.  The brake light switch is a mechanical one from Wire Works.

Any ideas as to why I have no left brake light?

Thanks for your help.

The problem is in the turn signal switch. What column are you using? There may be an easy fix, depending on the column.

I am using a stock 48 F-1 column and an aftermarket "Signal-Stat " turn signal switch.  Sounds like I need to replace the switch.

Thanks,

Yup, sounds like that here too. One thing to check is the light ground before you buy a new switch.
