[Autox] No brake lights

[John Lieberman]

I would agree with Mark.  Use a volt meter to check for "juice" at every 
step along the line.  Start at the bulb socket and work your way 
backwards.  If you should find that you're getting juice at the bulb 
socket then it has to be either the bulb or the ground.  Or it could be 
that the bulb sockets are just grungy and need a good spray of contact 
cleaner.  If no juice at the bulb socket, work your way backwards 
through the circuit until you find a good reliable source of 12V.
