No. 1 fuse has started blowing, taking out the ignition (batt and neutral lights) according to Haynes drawing its brake light switch and rigged into taillight. Stripped out taillight but still blowing. Any ideas ?

Den follow the brake switch wires to thier plugs and disconnet them one at a time
If the fuse stops blowing after you disconnected one or the other then the fault is in the disconnected brake switch

will try that now
The warning lights look to me to be supplied by power from fuse 1, and then if there's a fault it's switched to make a circuit and light the warning / info up.
Does the fuse blow if only one brake switch is made or before you activate the brake?
