I've been having problems with the brake lights not working, found it was the wires that connect to the brake light switch. I've tried everything to secure them better to no avail. Anyone have any recommendations on this or know if there are specific fasteners to use? Here is the switch: http://www.classicindustries.com/images/productimg/t/t70850.jpg

Good point on having some extra slack. Are all female bullet connectors the same size or are there difference sizes?

Anytime you have need to connect a smaller wire into a larger crimp just bare twice the length and fold it over before inserting. | | |
