Thanks for all the suggestions and now I know where to find the brake
switch on the diagrams. I now suspect the hazard switch. It flashes
very slowly and if I put the brakes on it stops flashing and all the
tail lights are lit. My son got cited for no rear brake light after
getting pulled over for speeding so I now I have to get it fixed and
inspected. I suppose I could try to fake out the officer by pulling
the hazard switch as I put the brakes on but I would like to get them
working right anyway.
