SMI Brake Control - Coach Stop Light Switch

[Gardner Yeaw]

Curt,
I have since discovered that my brake and turn signal lights are
seperate on my Jeep. I may have to come up with a little 'custom'
wiring to make this work. I am concerned that the center light on the
jeep will not work, or will blink with the turn signal. It looks like
my advise doesn't work so well for me. I really didn't want to go
with a light bar, I have enough stuff to carry around and set up
already. I just want to plug the Jeep in and be done with it. I guess
I will need to find the brake light switch after all!
