Ok Just a little tester for all you experts out there !!!
As some of you are aware i've got a electric pump, and the switched feed is through the brake light switch.
Now i've just moved the sensor that regulates the pump speed to the back of the O/S side cyl head (transfer housing) and in the process managed to break the oil pressure pipe leading to the gauge.......... ordered a new pipe and fitted it, butwhile trying to remove the old pipe from all the wires a crap behind the dashboard, managed to pull the wires off the brake light switch................no problem refitted and went for test drive called into petrol station put 20lts in and set of.......... about 4mls later in the pouring rainas I braked going down a hill I noticed rev counter was not working....... funny then realised engine had cut out, so coasted to a layby put gearlever in park (automatic) turned key........ started straight away, foot on brake pulled lever into reverse engine stopped.......Hmmm back into park turned key started straight away foot on brake pulled back to reverse stopped again, then I realised every time I put my foot on the brake the engine cut out............ so I removed wiring from brake light switch ran a cable straight from the battery to the pump controller and drove home no problem.
I have now sorted the problem but wondered if any of you can guess what the problem was?
