Chrysler Voyager 1999 Brake lamp blinking help!
 

Hello,

Have Chrysler Voyager 1999 and the brake lamp on dashbord is blinking constantly.

There is brake oil to max level and the brakes seems to work fine..

anyone knows what it is?


Chrysler Voyager 1999 3.3L V6

Thanks..

check the handbrake is fully off and that the switch on the handbrake is not stuck.

A regular blink would suggest something has been detected by the micro to bring your attention. Some brake pads have an electrical contact to signal end of life, it may be ABS related etc.
The handbook, or someone knowlegeable here should show. Needs your immediate attention of course being brake-related.

have checked already that switch to handbrake is fully off and the switch is not stuck..and the handbook dont say anyting more than needs to check brake oil level and its on max..

Have a look-see if there is a wire going to the brake pad area. Then see if the pads are abnormally worn down. I had an older Mercedes 300D using that idea, and there are connexions between Chrysler and Mercedes...

That was my first thought. Had the same problem on my daughter's Peugeot some months ago.

remove all electric plugs that goes to brake pads, light should change to always on, if this happens them you have one or more brake pads in end life, you just need to find out what ones.

My daughters brake light came on, only when braking,as the contacts came into contact with the steel disc.

There is no electric wire to pads on this car and all brake pads are almost new..

There is no electric wire to pads on this car and all brake pads are almost new.. and the brake lamp start to blink even not engine is on..

One would assume you've done the "key-dance" to check for errorcodes? If codes are present, this could point you to to root of the trouble.
Also, if nothing shows from errorcodes, check if you have a dodgy warning switch on brake master cylinder, the one that would indicate low brake fluid. I think of this one as you say the blinking brake light comes on immediate without engine running.

What do you mean key dance? I only have turn the key on, not all the way so engine starts and the brake lamp starts to blink and i have tryed to change the master cylinder with the switch that you are telling without any help. I have made a video on youtube link is here:

The "key-dance" is a means of accessing errorcodes from the micros without the need for a codereader hookup to the diagnostic socket. It involves switching the ignition on and off I think four times (there are PLENTY of instructions on this website how to do) and viewing the mileometer to see the code(s) -- a nice touch from Chrysler.

I've had a look through some drawings and there are a few points to test

Circuit diagram here

Test the voltage from C2 pin 1 and c2 pin 8/9 (manual or automatic) and that should be a steady votlage, but most likely it's going to be the combined flasher module given the regularity of the flash.

might sound to obvious, have you tried new bulbs.

Wow i didnt knew that, gonna try that later!
No i have not tryed new bulbs, where should i change?

Sometimes if a element is faulty but still works,the system goes to fault mode.

Tryed to find how to do key dance for Voyager 1999 without luck, i have tryed to switch ignision 3,4,5 times without luck maybe im doing someting wrong..anyone who knows?

It's more knack [the part seconds between moving the key] than science, keep trying - you'll get it !

on/off
on/off
on

then wait .. .. the 'P' codes appear in the 'odo' window

Doubt the key dance will show anything useful for this fault. It will give you the P codes, but not the body, chassis, abs, chassis etc.

Ok, thanks for fast reply guys ;)
