ya i would undo the butt connectors or whatever was used to (hack) the wiring up and cut the wires back an inch or 2 and go from there probably only a 15-20 min job would solder and shrink tube the new connections or butt connectors and shrink tube

sounds like this may be the issue it was probably hacked by someone with a pocket knife and using a lighter to strip the wires.i would try to do the best permanent fix you can do thats within your budget cause it will pay off in the long run im figuring that out

when you press the brake pedal you should hear a click well if its the same as mine.i think there is a pressure switch on the pedal arm and a relay for the tail lights as well ill try to track the relay down
