I don't know about the brake LIGHTS, but when I was under the front 
end I discovered that one of the brake light switches wasn't even 
connected. The connector was floating off to one side, with a partly

The gas is completely fluid, but the smell is awful. I'll dilute it 
with some fresh stuff, plus some injector cleaner, before I try to 
circulate it anywhere.
