[V8] No rear brake light wackyness

[Ron Wainwright]

The turn signal & hazards work as they should. It's
the brakes that don't work. The dual filament bulb
lights up one of the filaments when I turn the HL's
on...but when pushing on the brake pedal the other
filament doesn't lite up. Totally different bulb from
the turn signal/hazard bulb. & the rear light's in the
windshield obviousley don't work eather...just for the
record.

 UPDATE....I pulled the fuse box & everything looks
good, all the connectors are were there supposed to
be, ect. The reason I mention this is cause a lister
mentioned I may have to change out fusebox's.....but I
don't think it's a fusebox issue..remember when
pushing on the horn..which is tied into the same
circuit the Logic 
relay for P/N-lock (relay possision 15) & relay for
back-up-lights (possision 14) in the second tier of
relay's, they click.
