Marc,
In looking at the wiring diagram I see that there are 3 green/yellow
wires. The one that supplies power to the brake lights is connected to a
Green/Red wire on the fuse box. This is a 20A fuse that runs the horn,
brake lights, brake indicator light and hazzard lights. This wire should
be hot all the time.
The second wire goes from the brake switch to the turn signal switch.
The third wire also goes from the brake switch to the hazzard switch.
Do the hazzard flashers work? How about the horn?
Take a look at the wiring diagram at www.310s.org. Go to wiring diagrams,
then click on 69-70.
Does one of the two connectors without power that go to the brake light
switch have a place to piggyback a second wire onto it? If so, connect
them together and put them on one of the switch connections. Put the hot
wire on the other and you should be set.
Peace,
Pat
