        With that as My guide + a Diagram from the Orig CCS-100 Install Man'

I decided it was time to do something I have often (any time CC doesn't wan't

to Engage) thought about doing which is to have a Brake Light "PilotLight" that

can be seen by Me/Driver so as to know if the Brake Lights are On when they are

supposed to be Off ~ I wired a single bulb from the Ground Side of My BrakeLight

switch to Ground & mounted it up under Dash so now when Brakes are applied the

FootWell Glows & when Brakes are Off CC Works As It Should ~ Thanks a Bunch to

Dug & Dennis ~

        Next Quiz > While DVMing to be sure I new which side of My BrakeLightSwitch

was GroundSide I got .22VDC between Ground & Ground Leg on Switch ~ Is this an

issue that I need to address & if Yes, Any Ideas on where to start looking ~ Might have

been .022VDC > Don't Remember > Can recheck if it is significant info ~
