 Topic: New Memeber 71 Torino WagonPosted: 14-September-2022 at 12:08PM |

New to the forum here. Hello! Excited to have a 71 Torino Wagon 351C 2V. Just brought it from Miami area back to AZ where it resided for many years. My son and I have already got the AC working again and added a brake booster to get power brakes. What a difference! Only problem is the brake lights now no longer are working. Any idea where to start. I'll post pictures as soon as I am permitted. Good to be here with so many experienced owners.

Welcome. Did the brake lights work before the booster was added? Did you have to fool around with the switch on the pedal?

Everything worked before. We did have to remove the switch and then put it back on. That is where I think the problem is but can't get it going again just yet

You could try to bypass/jumper the switch and see if they come on

Very nice wagon!
Had a similar experience recently. A visual inspection showed that the fuse looked good. When I pulled it out and checked it with a meter, was bad.
