Electrical/Lights

Post by jbarnish »

Brake Lights and turn signals didn't work but all lights came on when i turned on the headlights. cleaned all the connectors and everything works great besides the brake safety lamp will not turn off. 4-point connector (near master cyl) with the black hot was partially melted which i'm assuming was the original issue. suggestions?
