yes power at brake light switches,there are 2,and all the other lights work fine(all grounded the same i believe...so i have no clue where to look?does the cpu control your brake lights?is there a brake light relay?

dude your working on an electrical gremlin, there is not going to be a quick fix.
Ok have power to stoplight switch and back out so switch is good now with a test light go to the stoplights is there power there? If not then start tracing and checking the wire working back to the stop light switch and you will find the problem

i appreciate your help,the stoplights are not working however the running lights are(the bulbs have double elements)so u would think that all the wiring is correct,and if there were a break in the wire i would also think that there would b a dead short,and a blown fuse as a result,def def a gremlin,im no mechanic but usually not much gets the best of me..i am still waiting for someone to chime in here about the cpu,and if there are any relays that im missing...the manual refers to a "stop light check relay"wich is supposed to b mounted up by the cpu and horn relay on the left kick panel,in wich i cannot find a relay for the stop lights whatsoever!someone out there has had to of had this problem before..please help!thx....j.z.
