Default Re: Need help with brake lights

O.K. I tried that and when I was messing around with the wires with the
brake depressed the middle and inside left tailight came on
momentarily. I started to jiggle the wires going into a grey harness
and the lights flickered, so it must be that. I have no idea how to
get that thing out though. Any ideas?

Thanks.
