My tail lights are all working, the other issue is that the brake lights are not. (probably switch on pedal, but I'm not sure about that either)

My next step is to purchase an electrical tester and learn how to use it.
Electrical issues are not what I'm good at. The diagrams in the Haynes manual are not means comprehensive. Didn't I see some diagrams here somewhere?
You know what, you're right! It's the grey/red wire. I was mistaken because on my Blaupunkt harness, the wire that connects to the grey/red wire is orange. lol, now I have to go back and correct all of the threads where I said it was orange
