Re: [FWDLK] Dead battery diagnosis?

[Tuff Shift <nitekatt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had a similar problem some time ago.  Found the brake light switch was not
closing due to the brake pedal not coming fully up.  One would think it
would be obvious if the brake lights stayed on, but in my case I never
thought to check.  Might be worth looking at.
