2020-12-26 electrical problems

- -On Saturday the 26th Blaise observed three problems with the car: - -

shifter did not release from park when starting (worked with override)
cruse control did not work
brake lights did not work

- -

-The common denominator is the brake switch, which we investigated. -Eventually we found that the 20 A "stop" fuse which fuses the brake lights was being burnt out every time the brake was depressed. -

- -

-Some splicing work for the brake light in the roof of the trunk was found to be shorting out. -After fixing this problem, the car seems to work fine. -However cruse control is still broken. -

- -

-In the process of fixing this problem David reset the car computer by disconnecting the battery for several seconds. -We also discovered that the rear passenger-side brake light was broken, which could be coincidental. -The brake light was replaced the next day, working fine. -Although we could not measure any problems with the brake switch, Blaise is still suspicious and would like to see that switch replaced. -
