Re:No brake lights

I had a blown blinker one time. I went to check the bulb thinking it was blown, turned out it was a loose connection between the bulb and the socket. Might want to check that.

Re:No brake lights

Yeah, the diagram shows that the brake light wire runs to the turn signal switch from the brake light switch. I'll check it tonight, hope that's it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re:No brake lights

Alright, it's fixed. Turns out the wire between the stop light switch and the turn signal switch was bad. I jumped a wire between the two and I have brake lights. Put two new headlights in, and they no problems so far. Thanks for all the help<br>ERIC
