    Brake Lights.

    Hey all,

    I replaced a fuse the other day in the headlight switch on my 64 and suddenly all of my stuff works, dome light, courtesy light, glove box light!

    Still no brake lights. So the other day (I was by myself) to troubleshoot
    I made a male to male pigtail and took the brake light pressure switch out of the picture by hooking it up to the harness and immediately blew that same fuse. So after 20 mins of cussing I got a fuse back into it.

    Who puts a &^%HJ fuse in a headlight switch sheesh!

    So today I went out there with my meter and zip tied the meter leads to the brake pressure switch and hopped in and hit the brakes and I see the switch go from OPEN to like 250 ohms.

    So that leaves wiring I guess?

    Another possibly unrelated clue may be my dashlights are operational, but dim. I am thinking maybe I have a bad ground....

    Thoughts? Experiences? wild guesses are all acceptable.

    -Michael
