Looking at the careful word choice in your reply: "not initially bad" does not equal "still good now", so I think that you're trying to leave your self a logic-escape-hatch there. Is there perhaps a way to test the switch with a continuity tester? Is there a way to run a jumper line from the battery post into the terminals that plug into the switch or a way to jump the two wires together to mimic the switch being thrown? This would isolate the switch from the circuit and allow an attack on whichever proved inoperative, narrowing things down? -Sorry, I missed the first part of the thread and apologize if this is redundant advice. Since the switch is comparatively easy and inexpensive part to replace, and is the most obvious thing that could be causing this, that's where I'd start, presuming that the wiring has not been shorted between last brake light illumination and now. Beats the hell out of doing a bunch of other more complicated things, finding nothing, and coming back to it - at least that's the path that my lazy bones would take. If it does turn out to be the switch after all of this, you owe me a candy bar. - Things are never that easy, though. -K __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
