Hi everyone, I have some questions about my brake light relay (above the glove box) which clicks when I press the brake pedal and or turn on the hazard switch. My harness was refurbished by midlife and is working properly. I have a constant 12.4 Volts on the yellow wire going to the relay and the same voltage on the light green/red wire connected to the other side of the relay. (The clicking started after I connected my wiring, the brake lights and hazards were working then). Now no brake lights or hazards, just clicks! Could it be a bad ground or even a bad relay? Does the relay go bad? When I hit the brake pedal I have a huge drop in voltage (I have a voltmeter in the 3 gauge pod) but as soon as I release the brake pedal the clicking stops (it's more like one click every time I step on the pedal, if I keep my foot on the pedal it keeps clicking every 6-8 seconds ) and the voltage returns to normal! The clicks come from the brake light switch, no doubt and the relay gets a little warm to the touch if keep my foot on the brake and or the hazard switch is on. Thank you for your help!
