RE: Lights

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with the diagnosis of the turn signal switch.

All brake light power goes through the turnsignal switch and it is 
likely very dirty (gummed up) or corroded.  It may also be loose wires 
where the turn signal switch meets the body wiring along the steering 
column.

Good luck.
