I discovered the handbrake switch was broken and replaced it.
Light still on.
Pushing the handbrake switch causes the intensity of the lamp to change so we know that that switch works. The switch in the reservoir also causes the intensity of the light to change as it is worked so, I think both switches are working. Where should I start to look for the short? or is there another switch somewhere?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I don't have my electrical book handy, I can lookup which relay that is when I get home. It seems like the relays were marked in the fuse panel, weren't they?? Yes, that relay lights up both lamps at the same time. If it were working right, the lamps would go off a few seconds after turning the car on. It's a thermal delay relay.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Gotta get down and dirty and trace leads. I would start at the bulb itself and lift the nearest lead to it in order to turn it off.

Then take the circuit, and find the easiest "DIVISION" points, lift a lead, and divide and conquer!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Mike,
Have you tried to move the brake lever from side to side? Otherwise you may have to replace one of the relays on the fuse box (don´t ask me why) but I was there about a year ago and the light finally went off after swapping one of the relays from my parts car.
Good luck, Gilles<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
