That`s really helpful, thanks a lot. I`ll check it out.
One question though, if the fuse 12 goes to all instrument bulbs and
safety relais for electric windows, shouldn`t my other instrument
lights be out, like the headlights, electric windows, etc? Everything
else works fine...
It`s suspect that BOTH brake lights are out (meaning, its definitely
not a loose bulb, etc), and that is all. So could this mean its more
likely the brake light switch?

FIXED!!
Thanks for all the help.
Checked fuse 12, and though it LOOKED alright, I think that was indeed
the problem. Took it out and rubbed the ends with my fingers, and when
i put it back in, the brake lights started working again!

Yup, happens all the time. REPLACE ALL THE FUSES! (to quote Marshall Booth)
if they`re nearing 10 years old. It`s also a good idea to take a bit of
finw wet/dry sandpaper and clean all the fuse contacts.

Title: TOYS Odin Sphere: Mercedes 1/8 Scale Figure - Preorder
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:03:04 +0000
Author: ncsx
 NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» A leggy Mercedes of OdinSphere fame hurtles herself forward in Alter’s recently announced 1/8 scale figure which ships next year. Mercedes is one of the key characters in OdinSphere who’s the daughter of the Fairy Queen Elfaria. In her storyline, Lord Odin slays her mother and Mercedes ascends to the role of Queen of the Faeries.
The Alter version of Mercedes is accompanied by a leaping frog who’s also powering itself forward with its springy legs. Similar to Yamato’s SIF EX rendition of Mercedes, Alter gives the Princess-Queen the Crossbow Psypher so she can defend herself from malcontents. Two flowers crown Mercedes’ head whilst her black wings are in full bloom and apparently holding her aloft as she moves forward. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late February 2010 at JPY7800 or US$88.90 from NCS.
