    Gentlemen/Ladies,

    I need a little help. I have recently discovered that my rear brake light has decided to stop working. Here is what I have seen and tried so far:

    1. replaced the brake light (no joy)
    2. unplugged and replugged the connections on the hand brake (no joy)
    3. same as above on the foot brake (no joy)

    I have running lights, but no brake lights illuminate regardless of whether I use the hand brake or the foot brake.

    I looked in the factory service manual and couldn't find any gotchas.

    Is there anything else I can check?

    Thanks, Matt

    Do you have voltage at the switch?

    Ground wire or the second wire at the light? Bad light plug?
