A simple rubber vacuum plug (available at auto xxxx)or equivilent over
the brake light switch plunger where it makes contact with the paddle on
the brakearm shaft will fix 'er right up. Brand new switches will
sometimes short as well.

| The brake light switch is a common culprit. The internals are dagerously close to ground at many points. The plunger can ground out when it wears or an old spring warps. If you are handy the switch can be opened and made better than new ! If you are faint of heart you can buy a new one and HOPE it doesn't fail within the first couple of weeks lkie so many have.
