Brake Light Problems
Hi,
I just finished putting a signal stat 900 in my 1960 F-600. Question: Is the red light in the middle of the switch supposed to flash when the truck is running and the lever is in the neutral position? 2nd Question: My tail lights come on when i turn my lights on and my turn signals work on both sides, but when I push my brake pedal, the lights don't glow with or without the lights on. I have replaced the brake light switch and all of the wiring is brand new. Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh gosh a signal switch problem!!!!! Something new LOL!
The central red light on your switch should only light when your emegency flashers are activated. If they flash try pulling out (or pushing in) the emergency light ****.
WRT the brake lights, you have a wiring cross up. The brake lights and signals use the same circuit and are controlled through the signal switch.
The tail lights are a completely different circuit and are run out of your headlight switch. Here's a couple of diagrams:
The upper one should show your switch. The lower one is for my switch - an "Everlasting", but shoud give you an idea of the overall lights layout.
