I have eliminated a lot of extra wiring and relays and such....how would one best hook up the brake lights to the mastercylinder switch?

Up in the garage on WIFI and under the car.....cold beer is close.....ESPN Sport Center is on....

Wouldn't hook to MC stock setup, no pressure accuated switch to hook to.

Wire from hot ign to switch on brake pedal...wire from switch to lights (assuming lights are grounded).

Yeh, if it ever frays and grounds ya get a lotta foul smelling smoke.....kinda like beer and hard boiled eggs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

I suppose it would be possible to mount a pressure switch in a "T" off one of the circuits, but that seems more trouble than it's worth.

After manfred is done...I am fabricating a dash to use 911/VDO gauges...that's taking time.

Looks like the microswitch is dead....I get 12v to one side with the ignition on....push on the brake pedal, nothing on the other side...gonna pull it and see if it can be fixed....
