Finally got my '49 on the road and still can't figure out why the brake light isn't getting power. First off, the running light works fine, and I'm getting power across the fuse for the taillight but am not getting power down to the new stop light switch I installed. From the fuse does the wire run straight down to the switch or somewhere else? It's hard to tell. Anyone have a wiring diagram? Thanks for the help!

Lazy J,

The power for the stoplight comes from a connection on the headlight switch (not switched), through the fuse and straight to the stoplight switch. From there it goes back to the light.

I have enclosed a picture from a great online source. Thank Mr. Hardy if it helps you.
