Been driving my Moms 92 LSC while Chris has been driving my Marauder...:rolleyes:...:D...a nd the other night while driving home the tail lamp out light started to flash whenever the brake was hit. It's the one in the overhead console. We checked the lights and they all work...any suggestions???

Oh no, your eletrical gremlins have poltergeisted to the LSC:eek:..better call CBARS

actually, I'm not sure..I know some cars, the brake light will illuminate on the dash when fluid is low in the reservoir and you tap the brakes causing the level to fluctuate..

True, but the main brake light come on for that. These cars have a main brake light, and antilock light, rear lamp and I'm sure I'm forgetting one...I'm thinking maybe a bulb is not making good contact or about ready to go out???

Ahhh, ok..I'm not really familiar with them at all..Cool cars indeed though..Always did like them:beer: yes could be a bad socket or something causing bulb to jiggle the contact..I;ve seen guys solder extra on the bulbs to make sure they make contact in housings/sockets

When this occurs, check the brake lamp bulbs by using the hazard flashers. BTW, when you use the turn signals, does one side stay steady and not blink?

I'll try the hazards...and didn't notice anything screwy with the signals. When we get back well check all the sockets too.

The system works by measuring resistance in the circuit. When a light fails (or sometimes, even about to fail), the resistance changes and the lamp failure light triggers inside. If the lights are all working, you have one that is about to fail. Bulbs are cheap. I'd replace them all.

That is exactly what I was going to say.;)

Yes as well. Having an LSC the system is simple. Replace both taillight bulbs. Dirt does get into the socket area so clean the sockets when you change the bulbs.

Good luck and they are still fun to drive despite being 20 years old.

Add silicone dielectric grease on each bulb.

Cool, I'll try that...and yes they are fun to dive still...just have to get mine up and going...
