Sure I can see that,

Non-the less they work now . . .

Mike thanks for your help on the ignition module, Jeep runs better then when I
bought it. I knew what to do but was glad for the second opinion.

Re: electrical -- flasher and break lights - hooked together
 

I used to have CJ non-tilt column with a combined turn signal/4-way switch
in my Jeepster. I experienced a similar problem with the brake lights and
traced it down to a broken 4-way flasher switch, the pull-out type on the
column. I found if i pulled it out 1/8 inch it was fine, so i drilled a hole
in the plastic pull and stuck a cotter pin through it. I was still
functional 2 years later when I changed the whole column. Since then I have
not managed to break my brake lights.
