    I have a 387. The switch is located under the cab on the frame.

    On a 379 the switch is in the air manifold, inside the cab on the floor behind the panel by the steering column.

    brake light switch.jpg I'm assuming the guilty party is the shiniest brass one on the right circled in green.....

    If so, I don't know why the red lead is on it besides there was a possible past power loss on the original lead?

    Thanks
