Re: [DML] Breaking it

My brake lights went out a couple of months ago. There were 
basically four things I needed to check (otherwise I was going to 
need to do a lot of wire checking):

1) Maybe The circuit boards connections are bad. I'd heard these 
were a problem, but I didn't think this was the case because (I 
assumed) it wouldn't explain all 4 lights going out at the same time.
2) The bulbs...Likewise with (1), it wouldn't explain them all going 
out at once. I tested the bulbs anyway.
3) A fuse. I checked and replaced just to make sure, but that wasn't 
the problem.
4) The switch.

Sure enough, it was the last thing I checked (the switch). After 
taking the switch off I noticed that the switch was stuck in the "in" 
position (obviously, since the lights were off). I used pliers and 
quite a bit of force to get it un-stuck, but it didn't work after 
that. Ordering a new one was quick, easy, and cheap (I guess), and 
installing it took about 5 minutes.
