Brake bulb
 
OK. I've been reading some of the threads on strange things happening to the car. Try this one. My brake lights go out and figure I will get some new ones in the morning. No Problem. If I take the bulb from the reverse lights and use them until I get to the store, It shouldn't be a problem. Yeah right. I doing that my Fuel and Temp guage stopped working, My clock slash Computer display goes out. Car still riding good but its like a gremlin entered the car and messing with all the electronics. You know how it is when you are just driving and a light or sound happens. Your like OH ****!! :eek: Let you know what happens when I get the right bulb.

Brake bulb has 2 contacts (it is a Wagner 17916 or similar to 1157 multi-bulb) the reverse light is 7906 w/only a single contact...

yeah, you are shorting out the system, casuing you to have those problems.. you can't mix bulbs, they are all different.

Answer!!
 
You guys are totally right!! I blow fuse #46. :frown: Changed the fuse and all is well. With the back lights is there one that is missing? Tried to make sure all bulbs are there but no bulbs fit. I think it is part of the Taillights in the rear. Any help is welcomed.
