Just can't stay away Joined: 2008/4/14 21:23 Last Login : 9/2 19:52 From Texas Group: Registered Users Posts: 83	Our recently acquired 54 Cavalier has recently lost its brake lights. Does it take the same 2 prong switch as the 21st and 22nd series? Also, is it accessible from under the hood as the older cars or do you access it from underneath? I cannot see it from under the hood. Thanks, Tommy Posted on: 9/2 19:29

I believe it's easier to access from under the car. Dwight Heinmuller has replacement switches. Keep scrolling down the page to find it: Packard Parts -Kevin Posted on: 9/2 19:55

Is this correct? If so is this because of different brake fluids? Bleed your brakes after you replace the switch. Posted on: 9/3 9:20
