back stop light woes

Post by TonupKid52 »

Hi All Need some thoughts on this problem.
pressing the back brake pedal , The stop light takes a while to come on Should be straight away.
NOPE it comes on slowly and is bright after a build up of about 2 secs.
Could this be a bad earth? the only thing is the back light works. which has same earth????
have changed bulb twice with new. replaced bulb holder with new.
This is a puzzle to me!!!

If you disconnect the brake light switch and close the circuit with a piece of wire or split pin , does it illuminate straight away ?
If it does, I would suspect the switch

sounds like a bad connection to me - it might well be the earth - but check all the way through - clean every connection, make sure the pedal is operating the switch correctly - best of luck
