Default M818 brake lights

5ton new bumper and winch.jpgMy brake lights do not work with the foot peddle. They work fine with the trolley brake lever. The brakes work fine. I have changed the brake light switch. It appears as though I am not getting any air to the switch. How does the double check valve work. I am either not getting air pressure through this valve or I am not getting air pressure from the air pack. Any ideas on how to test this.

Yes, and they work properly through the trolley brake control. When I changed the brake light switch i could get air flow through the trolley brake control but not when I applied the foot brake.

Okay found some time to check it out, I am getting air from the air pack but no air thru the check valve, I will order a check valve and see if that fixes my problem. I am not using any of the glad hands, can I put air directly to the brake light switch from the air pack or does the air from the air pack need to bleed off? Any comments would be appreciated

Love the front bumper/winch mount and your tires. I'd chuck the chromed lug nuts though.

Thanks, Not trying to go for a traditional military look. Heres a pic of it since we painted it and a pick some picks of the bed, it is an A101 trailer we stretched 3' and built new fenders. When we get the truck out of the shop I'll post more pics.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]20110124_10.jpg[/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

The bed is a 101. it is the same width as the cab. The tires stick out from the bed. We will use this truck to pull stuff around in the sand. We have some decals being made it will be called "The General Lee". I think you can imagine what it will look like.
