(If you've already received this, I apologize. I'm not sure my emails are 
getting out today, the email system at my job is flaky.)

By now, we all know that the S/Brake knob tests the status of the 
brake-safety-light to the right of the steering wheel.

By looking at the wiring diagram, I figure it's possible to run a wire and a 
diode from the brake pedal switch (tail-light side) to the S/Brake knob and 
replace it's ground side. DON'T do this until I test it, it's just a guess on my
part. If it works, then pulling the S/Brake knob should test whether at least 
one tail brake light is working, by lighting up the S/Brake light. You can then 
walk to the rear of the car to see if all brake lights, light up or not. So 
doing this will still test whether the S/Brake light works. The brake pressure 
function will continue to work as usual. Extra functions gained with just a 
single part.

Has anyone tried this before?
