Truck tossed me a couple curveballs this weekend

[0212353]

So......Thursday I'm playing with the truck, getting her ready for the show this weekend. I got the tails on, went to take pics of them, realized that I have NO brake lights. Popped the stockers back on, no brake lights. Seriously?

So, I start playing with it. For some crazy reason, didn't know that the truck needed to be ON to show the brakes. Gotta love that......so I had the truck "on", and the brakes are on, but won't go off. UGH. Damn stop light switch somehow got pushed in a little too far. Not sure how that happened, I wasn't around it when I was messing with the truck. Got one ordered, picked it up before I went to Dave's - but didn't need it (but I have a spare!). I pulled the switch out, its a spring, so - good to go.

Then........on the way home from Dave's today I hear this loudass sound, sounds like something is flopping around under the truck. So, I pull off the highway, look around and see nothing..........great........hop back on the highway, there it is again. ****. Pull over on the side of the f'n highway and crawl under the damn thing. Nothing. Then - I see it, somehow the front liner had come loose at the bumper and was flapping around like crazy! Shoved that ***** back in and got back on my way!

But..........I still love my *****.

ive had that issues with inner fenders getting loose and flopping in the wind on the highway. sucks till you find it and realize its not a huge issue.

Oh sounds like fun. I had the little cover inside the front cover rattle against a tire before...but it was my fault, lol. It was after one of the number of times I had to either remove my headlights or while I was adjusting them. I simply forgot to push the pin back in.

 

[schroederMP]

Get your turn signal figured out?

 

[LB3711]

fun. I found out about the brake light function when i swapped tails too.

 

[WhiteExpress]

That's very strange. I thought it was a safety feature to have the brake lights always work even without the ignition on. Oh wells.

 

[S2kiHemi]

Weird

I didn't know that the brakes didn't work without the key on...hmmm...4th gen only maybe?

Nah, I'll play with that later. Its not a huge thing.

Yeah, its.........stupid.

Yeah, I would think its a safety thing too!

Its really........kinda annoying! LOL

 

[MADDOG]

I checked mine. They work without the key being On...

 

[quietpeen]

nice on finding the loose fender liner. I probably wouldn't have found that...lol

 

[LB3711]

my fathers 07 saturn aura and my mothers 08 saturn vue brake lights only work with the key also

 

[bigbadram1500]

I bet she loosened her fender liner cuz she was mad that she had dust on her at the show

 

[0212353]

lol

f'n IL is one dusty ass state!

 

[S2kiHemi]

Did you remove the fender liner when you installed your body lift? Might not have got it back on good.

 

[0212353]

nope, didn't remove it.

I thought about the body lift today - but she's been on the highway quite a few times since then, just odd that it happened when it did

 

[garner]

Both of mine have the brake lights turn on even with the key not in the ignition

 

[Trupiano]

Good troubleshooting!
