ATB, you should have a 1.0 red/yellow coming from S2 to doublt terminal t2g under dash (by way of pin C3 on panel back). This wire is doubled at one brake switch to go to the other, feeding power to both. On the other side of switches, a similarly doubled 1.0 red/black wire goes back to t2g, into panel at C1, back out at E16 to t7 in engine compartment distribution box, pin 3. From there, to left brake light where it doubles again to feed right brake light. By your description, you only have one brake switch wired up, and it's bad. Jumper across it and lights should light. david
