Epic fail! It doesn't get any simpler than diagnosing a brake light fault. Perhaps motorised transport isn't for you.....

Understand completely where you are coming from bzerk56!
I spent nearly a month trying to solve a brake/ turn signal switch issue. From backfeeding issues, faulty LED bulbs, 2 converter boxes, diodes, re-wiring 4 times, lots of new parts, etc. It should have been "easy", but everything I touched went wrong.

Sometimes you just need to step away for a while. Good luck!

Are you running ground or power through that pressure switch. I was told to run ground though it and not positive. I ran ground through mine and knock on wood no issues.
