I copied this from the circuit description in the electrical trouble-shooting manual...
"With the ignition switch in ON and the front and/or rear brake switch closed,voltage is applied to the center brake lights: The center lights go on. Voltage is also applied to the coil of the brake light relay. The relay contacts close and voltage is applied to the brake light-and-taillight sensor. The sensor applies voltage to the left and right brake lights: The left and right lights go on."
...so since the tail lights are working, maybe the problem is in the brake light-and-taillight sensor. The schematic shows one lead from the sensor supplying power to the lower brake lights, and one lead supplying power for thetail lights. Could be the portion of the circuit in the sensor for the brake lightsis bad, or maybe a broken wire between the sensor and the brake lights?
The book shows the sensor to be the one next to the battery, and the relay to be under the false tank.
