[Roadsters] brake light problem

[Bill Schairer]

Thanks for all the suggestions and now I know where to find the brake 
switch on the diagrams.  I now suspect the hazard switch.  It flashes 
very slowly and if I put the brakes on it stops flashing and all the 
tail lights are lit.  My son got cited for no rear brake light after 
getting pulled over for speeding so I now I have to get it fixed and 
inspected.  I suppose I could try to fake out the officer by pulling 
the hazard switch as I put the brakes on but I would like to get them 
working right anyway.
