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

[Ryan M Dudek]

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.
