Instead of brake light, buzzer sounds 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be nate on  Sun Nov 13 11:03 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Such a warm weekend practically begs for disaster. While troubleshooting a goofy oil pressure gage, I stupidly and accidentally grounded the gage power wire. One fuse later, the engine would run again but with an odd side effect, no brake lights. On top of that, stepping on the brakes with the lights on sounds the "lights-on" buzzer. I'm confident I can fix the buzzing with wire cutters...but brake lights would be nice to have again.

1983 245T
Running lights work
Brake lights do not work (key-off or key-on)
Door buzzer works as it should
Lights buzzer sounds when brake pedal is pressed
Headlights work
Turn Signals work
Power to rheostat (gage cluster lights up normally)
Car starts and stays running

Any clues or ideas are welcome.

Thank you,
-Nate
