RE: Brake light on '94 164Q

["Daniel Devaney" <ddevaney@domain.elided>]

Glenn Wasserman asked about rear brake lamps and the warning light.

My problem on a 91 164L was that the right rear bulbs lit up for the turn
signal, but not for the brakes.  I replaced bulbs 1157 with bulbs 2057 and the
bulbs now work properly.

Good Luck!

From 164 Tech Notes--Electrical, Group 40:  "The cure for me was to put the
correct bulb in the brake light. I thought that all were the same but was told
that there is a difference and that the correct bulb was the 2057 not the 1157
I was trying-something I learned in a truck stop. I was driving the thing home
from Minnesota and had been pulled over at least once and so stopped at a
truck stop and bought the 1157. Still the same problem so the next one had a
choice of either the 2057 or 1157. Was told by attendant that newer cars
needed the 2057. Problem solved. May be not your problem but a cheap thing to
check on."
