Re: IML: iml 60 brake light switch/fuse?/also.../sorted!

You should keep a new switch in the glove box, even though they are 
working again. It saves the time of looking for one later when it 
finally does fail. The threads where it srecews into the M/C are the 
critical part of this switch. If you can't get the correct one, a 
coupler can be used that has the correct threads on the male end, and 
the switch threads on the female end.

on gathering members thoughts, i then went back to the switch under m/c 
-applied 12v and ..

hey presto brake lights ! -)

the issue was that even though the female connector was showing 12v it 
was not crossing to the male connector , this was due to the leaking 
brake fluid creating a barrier between them.

i simply cleaned up the connectors and the switch and now my brake 
lights work !

it was pure coincedence that the temp gauge was shorted at the same 
time it was noted the brake lights were no longer working, throwing us 
off scent.

many thanks to all of you, for bringing me back to where i started and 
solving this  mystery.

now to sort the gauges out..... ..... but not before i take her for a 
spin on this a rare sunny warm day :-), shame i be off to work soon :-(
