Hi Hopper: Go to the main site www.1966vwbeetle.com and open the wiring diagram (it's a button on the left side of the screen), make sure all your wiring is hooked up right. Also - have you checked your Brake light switch - that may be the problem! Good luck to you - electrical issues are a pain! John

hopper:
Do you have a generator? Sometimes you will get back flow of current which will effect the light switch.I would change the brake switch
