Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just poking fun. I get it
Took the Valient out for a short trip to the gas station.
Guy pulls up , nice car, but your Brake lights are on.
Uh ok reach and pull up on pedal. Figured bad switch .Ok. should be an easy fix. Drive from the station hit the turn signal. Smoke starts coming out from the Dash around the ash tray.
Pull over shut it off no more smoke , but no turn signals.
Drive home only about a half mile.
Park, disco battery. Finally get under the Dash.
Positive wire to signal switch is fried,
Brake switch is kind of being held in place WITH A HOSE CLAMP.
Who does that.

Oh good grief!!!

I know the feeling of "Why would I have to check that????" But yeah, you have to.

You can borrow the OER brake-pedal-holder-upper that was on the car when I bought it.....
