[V8] No rear brake light wackyness

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ron,

Did you check for continuity in the circuit from the brake light  
socket to the brake light switch?  That'll tell you if there's a  
problem in between.  You may indeed have a bad switch (you should  
have plenty of spares in your depot).

Best of luck.

Ingo
