Turn signals work fine. As mentioned, there's a vacuum leak in the MC, so that could have something to do with it. I thought there would be a mechanical pedal travel switch. I will check the 6 wire plug. Assume it's under the dash. I've been rooting around under there and may have disconnected it.

But the brakes are only getting the hydraulic pressure my foot can give them. I know, Ouch! But I'm being careful moving the car around... now. I know the lights were working when I drove it up here, or I wouldn't have driven it. Checked them again after I got it from the shop and they weren't working. It's only out of generosity and curiousity that I'm looking at it myself.

It's going back for a parking brake adjustment (needs to be tighter-- at least they got it lubed so both sides are working now) and will have them check the brake light switch if I can't get it fixed myself.

I'm just walking back and forth diddling w it in the driveway, and it's pretty cold today. Have scrrewdriver, will travel.

And YES Ozstatman, I do have all the numbers now to put the car in the registry.
