Brake Lamp: Description and Operation

STOP LAMPS

The Stop/Hazard fuse in the IP fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the normally open switch closes and battery positive voltage is supplied to both left and right stop lamp assemblies and to the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL). The stop lamps are grounded at G 400. The CHMSL is grounded at G 400 for the convertible and at G 310 for the coupe.
