The front turnsignals work fine (but) I can either have turnsignals or brakelights on the rear, not both. I choose brakelights.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

I beleive I connected it at one time. But now I just have the brake lights connected to the brakelight switch.

It took a little fooling around, but in the end I just followed the wiring diagram included with the switch and everything works perfect.
I do know that the signal light switch gets wired into the brake light switch.
I hope this helps

The wiring diagram that came with the turnsignal switch was not clear to me. It said things like (cut & tape brown wire' etc.) cut & tape it to what? Any way we'll see how the color wiring diagram works out.
