Thanks for the information and ideas on correcting
faulty brake lights.  I presume, barring a complete
re-wire of the tail/brake lights (ugh!), that one could 
effective circumvent the problem by simply installing a
good ground wire.  That seems too easy. Is it?

And while we are on the topic of weird wiring
problems.  I thought a saw a reference recently to a
headlight/horn problem, but wasn't sure that I caught
up to an answer.  My horn will occasionally buzz when
I turn on my head lights (the kids love it, but I could do
without).  So ... which one is shorting?? The horn or
the lights or the switch??  I believe there' been some
lively discussion on the topic of Clear Hooters
switches.  Should I replace switch (it looks new but
who knows) Can I (should I, will I) install ground wires
to the headlights (or horn or both)??

Note: I have also promised myself each winter that I
will replace all the wiring and make the darn thing right
once and for all.  Question: is it worth it??  I'd
appreciate hearing from someone whose done the
dirty deed, and whether it solves all problems.  I
suspect the design is the problem and re-wiring will
help, but not solve.  And I think I saw wiring harnesses
going for $229 - what a good price and where??
