David,

You said:

"The stoplight circuit is powered by fuse #18-20 amp and is independent of
the turn signals so #4 fuse doesn't affect this...."

This is not the case in all cars. In the early vin's, sorry I don't have the
break out number, the stop lamp circuit is included in the fuse #4 circuit.
(See Technical Information Manual p 216)

In these cars fuse #18 in not used.
