99 Caravan; brake lights on left turn
My 99 Caravan has the brake light come on when the vehicle turns left.
Hand brake is completely off, the light comes on correctly when I ste the brake and goes off when I release it but comes on when I turn left. Any ideas? Free men own guns - www(dot)geocities(dot)com/CapitolHill/5357/ |

99 Caravan; brake lights on left turn
Seems to me there is a switch at the bottom of the steering column.
This switch controls both the cruise control, and the rear brake lights. I had a problem in my 1994 where the brake lights came on and STAYED on all night - killing the battery. Adn my cruise control was not working either. The mechanic at my shop found the problem with this switch in about 5 minutes, and IIRC it was realively inexpensive, and took very little time to replace. All worked fine after that. Having said that.... the 1999 body is somewhat different. I know there is some "clock spring" in the column which is used to multiplex electrical signals. If THAT is your problem, then it aint cheap! keep us posted!
