[Chrysler300] how to tell your brake lights are working

[Bob Merritt <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Being the fussy old lady that I am, I wire tell tale lights into the 
brake light circuit. When I push on the brake and activate the lights, a 
small "tell tale" light glows below the dash and I know the tail lights 
are on.

It is easy to add a tell tale to the stop light circuit. It is wired in 
parallel from the downstream side of the stop light switch. The last one 
I did was on a 62 and it was easy to run the wire to the tell tale which 
I mounted on a bracket screw so it peaks out from behind the console. 
Ground side of the light goes to the dashboard.
Easily reversible if need be.

Or, if you have sharp eyes you should be able to see your ammeter 
deflect when your lights come on........no ammeter on the 65 or 66 so 
you need tell tales there.
