Michael,
The tail lights have a green, striped, and black wire. Double filament
sockets and bulbs installed. The switch has a green, and striped wire.
There are no turn signals.
I tested the brake switch and got one hot wire with the ignition switch
on. When I tested the othe terminal on the brake switch with the brake
pedal depressed it showed the switch to be suspect. I think I need to
replace the brake switch but don't know if I must bleed the system to do
so.
