Brake Lamp: Description and Operation

STOP LAMPS

The STOP LP fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal the switch contacts close. The battery positive voltage flows to the left stop lamp assemblies, to the right stop lamp assemblies, and to the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL). The left stop lamp and the CHMSL have ground at G402. The right stop lamp has ground at G401.
