Patient is an 84 S. It all started with trying to trace a battery drain which ultimately turned out to be the ignition switch. During my search, I removed all the fuses that were indicated to be 'not used' in the owners manual and the wsm's. Replaced the ignition switch, drain disappeared. Fine. But... no brake lights. So I chased down continuity from the brake light switch, thru the fuse panel, all the way back to the lights. Everything's fine. Still no power on pin F6. Pull the fuse panel and start looking for the path to F6... which turns out to be fuse #7 which I'd pulled because it was 'not used'. Yeah, right. Owners manual and wsm both declared fuse 10. Popped in a fuse at 7 and voila... brake lights. Funny thing is that the 928 Specialists fuse charts show the correct fusing, too bad I didn't look there until this morning.
