Title: Break light troubles Post by bob.b.brown on 03/27/10 at 14:28:45 I have a 98 savage. It is running great, however, I am having some issues with my break light... When I have the key turned to accessory, the break light works. When I turn the key to on and crank the engine, the break light won't work. The blinkers and head light work when the key is turned to either accessory or run. Does anyone know how to fix this or know what is causing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bobby

This is all from a stock point of view... there isn't an accessory position on the ig switch off-on-park there's a link to an owner's manual in the tech doc's, read up. In park, only thing that will light up is the tail light running lamp. If you can light your brake lamp in park, you got a wiring problem. When you have it in run, either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal should operate the brake light. Check your light bulb first.  Should have 2 filaments.

Put a new front brake switch on there....end of problem.
