The current on the sensor wire was 0.08 at the 10A setting on both sides. After cleaning the leads, it seems I restored continuity, as the brake light came on again in the run position. But, the brake light is red, not yellow?

It pulsed (dimmed) when I revved the engine, but didn't go out. Maybe this was the light I thought was the alt light, b/c I was thrown by the red color?

May be a problem at the cluster?

Also wanted to add that the parking brake light does work. Always has.
