[Shotimes] Brake On/Off switch circuit keeps blowing fuse

[Ian Fisher]

It's a pressure switch that also tells the PCM that you are braking in
order to kick down a gear in the tranny. Probably the same switch that
you are talking about for the cruise control.

Yep,

Had the same problem with Tara's 94 ATX before (and again at) this past
year's convention.  Disconnected the pigtail from the bottom of the
master cylinder and all is better.  I do believe that the connection on
the bottom of the MC is for the ABS, not the cruise control though, as
we had already disconnected the cruise and were still blowing fuses
before disconnecting the pigtail on the bottom of the MC.

On a SHO? If so, ATX SHO's have a switch on the bottom of the master
cylinder that kills the cruise control. Easy fix. They short out all the
time.
