Why are the brake lights of Wuling Zhiguang not working?
2 Answers
Possible causes for this issue include a faulty brake light switch or a blown fuse. Below is more information about brake lights: 1. Introduction: Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle. The main color of the light is red to enhance the penetration of the light source, so that vehicles behind can easily detect when the front vehicle is braking, even in low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. 2. Classification: By position, there are two types: one is the brake light installed at both ends of the rear of the vehicle, which is a type of taillight; the other is the high-mounted brake light, installed at the upper part of the rear of the vehicle.
I've driven the Wuling Rongguang for many years, and when the brake lights don't work, it can be quite troublesome. Common causes should be checked starting from the simplest: burnt-out bulbs are the most frequent issue, especially the ones at the rear of the car, which tend to age. If you hear the switch clicking when you press the brake but the light doesn’t come on, it’s likely the bulb. Next, check for a blown fuse—look under the steering wheel in the fuse box for the corresponding position to see if it’s blackened. A faulty switch is another possibility; the small switch on the brake pedal can wear out and fail. Poor contact or broken wiring is also common, especially in older cars where connectors may have corroded. I remember my car almost rear-ended someone once because of this—prompt checks are essential, or else others won’t see you at night, posing a big safety risk. It’s best to try replacing the bulb first; if that doesn’t work, check the fuse and switch to save time and money. If you’re handy, you can use a multimeter to test the circuit continuity yourself, but if you can’t figure it out, head to a repair shop for professional help.
