Owner's manual will tell you.

If your tail lights have blown, it is possible that the live wire to the passenger vanity mirror is shorting out to ground and blowing the fuse. This is not shown on the wiring diagram. I discovered this after several days of replacing fuses and finally after blowing my last one I decided to put a strand of copper wire across the two blades of the fuse. I got into the car and when I turned the switch I got a smell of burning and a small plume of smoke came from the vanity mirror mounting. When I unscrewed the fitting the wires were chaffed and this what was causing all this grief.

How do you replace the backup switch on a 1989 Jeep Cherokee or what else could be the cause of intermittent backup lights?

intermitten problems are the worst to figure out i would first start by changing the bulbs then i would change the wiring harness. i know i had a car that when the tail lights were on the blinkers wouldn't work and it turned out to be a short in the harness.


Why would a 1989 GM truck brake warning light stay on blinking?

Check the antilock wire beneath the master cylinder. Also the RWAL (rear wheel anti-lock) computer will store a (1 code at a time) code due to a faulty system. This code can be read by counting the flashes starting with the long flash as one and following with the short flashes there after (1(long)2(short)3(short)...and so on). The long flash always starts the new set of flashes. If the brake light stays on then a code reader will need to be used ($20 on ebay), which is read the same way.


On your 1989 Chevy Cavalier Z24 converable when you turn the head lights on the dash oard lights to not engauge and the light on the radio turns off How can you fix this problem myself if i even can?

Sounds like your dimmer switch isn't working or it is turned all the way down for night driving.. It has a setting that allows you to turn off the lights on your dash and radio for driving at night. Locate your dimmer switch and see if it is turned down all the way. If not it may have gone bad and needs to be replaced.

The rear brake light on your 1989 323 Mazda comes on when you push the brake pedal but all lights are working any suggestions on what the problem is?

Please re-phrase your question; it appears you are saying the brake lights come on when you push the brake pedal and the lights are working (normal operation). If the lights are staying on after you release the pedal, then the problem is with th brake light switch (sticking). Thanks Malcolm

What do you do about 1989 cutlass supreme your brake lights stay on all the time?

Check the brake light switch. It's under the dash, connected to the brake pedal. If it's adjusted wrong or faulty, it could cause the brake lights to stay on. If you can use a meter and tell that the brake light switch is ok, next test the turn signal switch. Sometimes they short out and leave the brake lights on. You'll have to pull the steering wheel to do that.
