ATB (according to Bentley) the '85 has two brake light switches, one for each hydraulic circuit and outputs in parallel. Circuit goes:

Fuse S8, 1mm r/y to brake switches. From switches, 1 mm r/bk to terminal T4a (probably a 4-position connector behind dash), then bk/r to pin three of T7 in connector box. Thence bk/r to left light and from there to right light. Each light is grounded to its respective taillight ground, and both taillight grounds go to ground point 19, near the ignition coil.

Suggest you unplug brake light switches, jumper and measure as indicated.
