Hello! First off, everyone here is an extremely reliable source that has not let me down since i've joined the forum! Keep up the helping hands!
So Lets get into it. We have no lights when brakes are applied, but we do have the tail lights that come one initially when all lights are on. I've replaced the digital master light switch with a lever switch as to remove the future issues with burn outs (so i've heard) we've followed the TMs as best as we could and found that there is no voltage going to the brake light when brakes are applied (all other lights work btw) even the dash lights. however, we do get voltage from the brake lights when the blinkers are switched over. SO we have good voltage with blinkers but not brakes, i read somewhere here that the breakout box to the left of the steering column houses the brake light wiring (is this true or should i leave this alone) <attached below. Does this sounds like a simple wire replacement or something a little more extensive? I know this description is a little vague, but if yall need any more info i can try my very best to provide it! Thank You!

There are brake light switches on the treadle assembly. You can check the wires to them. The tm has troubleshooting steps to follow for that issue. Its hard to remote diagnose this stuff.
