can someone please post a brakelight wiring diagram for an 89 maxima....i have a short and i could not trace this probrem....thanks for the assist.

 

 

thanks!!!!

 

okay...i need help now.

When i step on the brake, the fuse blows! Parking lights are okay though....any help is appreciated.

 

rewire the whole works

have you checked the brakelight switch?

 

Check the rear bulb sockets for corrsion or other damage..

 

thanks for the response folks....here's a more detailed story:

a few months ago, the alarm box (alarm not working - no remote) was dangling by the brake pedal...and yes, i may have kicked this once or twice. but i just left it alone.
A month ago, i turned on the parking and the fuse blows, then i noticed too that i do not have a brake light! So last Saturday, i removed much of the Alarm wiring, even the hot wire for the alarm. Whats left there is the harness.

Now, if i turn the park light on, it is fine, it works but when i step on the brake, it blows. Help!!!!

The Stop light and Taillight fuses are the two that blows.

 

check for a corroded tail light socket

 

props to Mygreenmax & Internetautomar........i checked the rear sockets and yep one socket was somewhat melted and was causing the short.
