Reconnected the blue wire and both filaments light up. Disconnected the rear brake switch at the connector and one filament lights up. Apply front brake and both filaments light up. So now the front brake is working. Looks like bull durham was correct the rear brake switch was the problem. When I reconnected the rear brake switch both filaments light up regardless of the brake pedal being applied. I will see if I can take the rear switch apart and clean it. If not I'll just replace it. I also noticed that my charging system works better now, I could not get about 13 volts at the battery. Now with only one set of filaments light up the battery voltage is closer to 14 volts. Thanks for all your help.



Hey, that's good news, glad to hear it.
