My Montes tail lights began an on off and now there totally out. I went with new bulbs but it's no power.

The on the top extra light and the spoiler lights still work but the main tail lights are out. I've kept the car in nice shape and there really isn't any rust and no body or under body damage. Assembly damage and it finally wore through maybe?

Before I pull the interior apart looking for a wire break or assembly screw problem any one with any experience with this?

Is there a ground somewhere that may need cleaning?

Thanks Steve

Hey Thanks jmichael67

After reading this I did further diagnostic testing versus a tear down looking for frayed / broken wire. Applying the brakes with no visable light I tweeked the multifunction turn signal switch in a number of directions and behold I had brake lights.

So it is the switch and I think that's sort of silly running the brake lights threw that switch but there must be a locial reason?


Good job Thanks, Steve

 

I have a 99 Z34 also and the multifunction switch will cause the brake lights to act up. It's a pain in the *** to replace. They sell the part at most auto stores - Advanced, Discount, NAPA, etc.
