Does it matter how the brake light switch is plugged in, Orange and white wire on either side of the switch?
I’m going to pick up a new turn signal switch and maybe a brake light switch tomorrow and try that. Just don’t know what else to try.
The brake light switch is a simple SPST (single pole single throw) switch, and it's only purpose is to interrupt current flow. Doesn't matter which wire is on what terminal as long as both wires are connected. W.A.G. approaches usually result in unnecessary expense. Did you follow the advice given in post #4??
