Yes, i pulled every fuse. I believe the accessory fuse is the one that blew.

Do you have air in the hydraulics from putting on the fwd control. Foot brake switch is hydraulic. Simple connects the line together. Maybe knocked it off and what blew fuse also may be the problem.

Find the hydraulic switch in the line going back from the foot break. Pull both wire off it and hook together to make sure it's not that.

It's dam hard trouble shooting from a keyboard I would think that if you replaced he fuse and you had a pinched wire it would blow the new one
Most of the time it's the simplest thing and a second pair of eyes helps also.

I was talking to buddy a lil while ago that's alot smarter than me when it comes to mechanics. We were going through all the possibilities and all that I had checked. I was just getting ready to start pulling the exhaust to have a better look when he asked how many bulbs I bought. I said they came in a 2 pack. He said you tried the other bulb right. I said no, I didn't see any need to. So I tried the other bulb in the package and sure as ****, it was a miracle!! The GD brake light started working!!! Guess I'm a ****ing retard!!!

always try the easy stuff first. it would have really sucked if you had pulled the exhaust and found out it was just a bulb....

glad it's working now.

I know, that's the thing, I thought I had. I'd already put one new bulb in it. I know things can be faulty right out of the package, but I can honestly say I this is a first for me with a bulb.

Oh well it's fixed now, thanks fellas!
