Re: 1955 Hardtop stoplight problems

Today I've had a go at fixing the stoplight problem. Before removing the original turn signal switch I compared its behaviour with the new one and could find no difference so I am now thinking the turn signal switch is ok. Simply checking the operation of the indicators and stoplights revealled the indicators fine but now both stoplights don't work. Checked for power at the stoplight switch and all appears ok but nothing on the output to the turn signal switch so I suspect this is faulty but not sure if this could have been the reason for the original faulty single stoplight ?
Can the stoplight switch be stripped and contacts cleaned? If the switch is replaced do the brakes need to be bled after, I.e does removal break into the hydraulic line?
