Driving in the dark can be a scary experience, but it’s especially nerve-wracking when you have to brake for a car coming up behind you. Sharpen your skills and test your knowledge of car mechanics with this quiz about brake lights.
What is Brake Lights?
Brake lights are usually a warning light on the dashboard of a car that tells drivers when the brakes are applied. The purpose of brake lights is to help drivers stop quickly without having to use the parking brake.
If your car’s brake lights are not working, there may be several reasons why. One possibility is that the brake light switch has failed, and needs to be replaced. If the switch is not the problem, there may be a problem with the brake light wiring in your car. In either case, you’ll need to take your car in for service to have the issue fixed.
If you’re not sure if your brake lights are working, check them out by turning on your car’s headlights and applying the brakes. If you see any light coming from your brake lamps, they’re probably working. If not, check to see if there’s anything obstructing the light coming from the lamps – like a piece of paper or something else – and take action if necessary to fix the issue.
How Do Brake Lights Work?
Brake lights are a safety feature on most cars. They turn on when the car brakes, to warn other drivers. However, some people think that brake lights may not work if the car is off. Is this true?
Yes, it is true that brake lights will work even if the car is off. The car’s electrical system still needs power to work, so the brake light switch will turn the light on.
