The original message should have read, "Brake lights keep shorting out", sorry it was somewhat misleading. "This problem is driving me up the wall. My 1983 UrQ eats fuse No. 6 for breakfast. Fuse No. 6 feeds the brake lights and the emergency flashers (kinda important). It will be OK for a while, and then blammo, out it goes." Andrew Finney 1983 UrQ.
