Hi All!

Got a question for ya' that I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out with. I have an 83' 733i which my wife drives on a daily basis. I know the car very well inside and out. The car' beeen in top form since I've had it. One problem though has since arisen. The BRAKE lights will not light-up when I presses the pedal. Now, the run signals, and back-up lights work just fine. Ther BRAKE lights, "No."
I've checked the bulbs in both assembly's and they both lookk fine. No wear, dirt or anything. "Is there anything else that I'm missing here?" Needless to say, the light on my dashbord is lit-up as well.

What's funny though, is that after about an hour or so of driving, the lights will eventually start working and the dashboard light will turn off. I'm hoping that there's maybe just some sort of bad relay hidden in there somewhere. If anyone can help me out with this, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

Ken 'n' Ann
