[DML] Re: Brake lights not working

["p12c16" <PRC1216@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Erik,
      The same thing happened to me a few months ago.  Except I smelled smoke and 
melting plastic!  It turned out that on the left side of the driver's side footspace, there is a 
nylon fuse holder with a green wire coming out one end and a brown wire coming out the 
other end.  That whole assembly melted on me, and the hot spring burned a hole in my 
DMCH floormat.  It is a glass style fuse.  I replaced the whole thing with a blade fuse 
holder and a 10 amp fuse from Radio Shack and have had no more issues.  Good luck.  By 
the way...that fuse holder might not exist in your car, I know people who do not have them 
in their '83s.
