my break light won't cut off when I take off my lights. i've been told its a ground problem and i've ran a ground from the motor to the frame and i've also ran a ground from the body directly to the negative pole on the battery (I've a converted 12volt system. But for some reason the left tail light won't turn off. I've checked all the wire for breaks and I have went as far to cover all the wire from the cab to the trunk with black electrical tape hoping to correct any worn out wire issues. I've posted on here recently with "weird electrical problems..." Any suggestions would be very appreciated....thanks

Kamstilla ,I am not sure about your problem, But I feel If your wires are bad enough to tape all the way back that they are most likely unsafe anyway.I think everybody will agree that they should be replaced. Brian
