Upon checking the fuses, the signal fuse is blown. I put a new fuse in and when I have the signals on and depress brake the fuse blows. These are all aftermarket. The fuse is marked signal in the box.
Update: When I depress the back brake the light gets dimmer instead of brighter. There are three wires coming from the tail light. Red, white and a green one. The green is not hooked to anything.
So brake light works backwards with back brakes but not at all with front.
