<VV> BRAKE LIGHTS

[shortle]

I agree with both Jims except in junks situation he has no juice (power) present at his tailight socket. Therefore all the sockets/grounds/soldering in the world will not help him fix his problem. I think he is on the track to either fix or at least figure out where his problem is. If he listens.
