Brake Lamp: Description and Operation

STOP LAMPS

The STOP LAMP fuse in the fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the turn signal switch and to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The turn signal switch applies voltage to the left and right stop lamp assemblies through the turn lamp circuit. The stop lamp along with the CHMSL are grounded at G302.
