Hey guys, sorry about the volume of posts, lately, I have just been barreling through a couple of car projects recently due to the nice weather.
The other day, my dad and I finished cleaning the passenger side of the engine block, the oil pan, the bottom of the transmission, and we also put a new speedometer cable in (goes from the transmission to the cruise control).
Started it up later that day and had no brake lights.
The only things that happened between the loss of brake lights and having brake lights the day before were the cleaning and one hard slam on the brakes that jostled the car a bit. What could have affected the lights?
Here is what I know so far:
1. I tested all the fuses and all showed about 10 ohms of resistance.
2. I cannot find any switch for a New Yorker that has cruise control, all of them say that they are made for cars without cruise control (wasn't that a standard option on the New Yorker?)
3. I cannot even see the current switch on the car when looking under the dash, it must be pretty high up in there.
4. The tail lights work with the parking lights and with the headlights, but they show nothing when the brakes are depressed.
5. There is one super beat wire running near the transmission and then into a plug that looks like it runs into the lean burn, but I am not sure.
What should I do? Attached below is a picture of the stoplight/turning signal/hazard wiring diagram:
