Issued February 6, 2001
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the brass terminals in the stop lamp extension harness connector at the brake lamp switch are inadequate to handle the current required by the two stop lamp filaments on each side of the vehicle. Either a short or an open circuit may develop, which could result in either a lack of stop lamp function or in the stop lamps being continuously illuminated. Correction: Stop lamp switch will be replaced, in addition, the stop lamp extension harness will be replaced with a harness containing bronze terminals at the stop lamp switch connector.
