The brake light pressure switch was mostly useless so I 1)
disconnected the hot pressure switch wire at the fuse block, 2) re-
connected it to a new wire going to the new brake pedal switch, 3)
connected a return wire back to where the pressure switch wire was
connected and 4) to complete the circuit I joined together the two
wires at the pressure switch.
