Whats up from Bham AL

Whats up y'all, I guess this is where we introduce ourselves so here i go.
I am brand new to Skoolies and just as of December 4th now own a pre-Skoolie school bus.....LOL. pun intended. My wife and I have only been looking at doing a Skoolie for about 5 months now. We purchased a 1997 Thomas 3800 with the T444E international engine... fun story I had never driven anything larger than a pickup truck when i hopped in the seat of our bus to drive it home, air breaks are sensitive... but i got use to them on the 260 mile drive home. Anyways we are both new to all things Skoolie so I am here to glean as much knowledge as i can, and am glad all y'all are here to talk to and learn about Skoolies from. Everybody stay safe out there. Peace out.

Hey I got a question if you don't mind, I am having an electrical issue with the brake lights, do you know where they are actuated/switched from, I have air breaks BTW. I got the schematics but they do not show where it switches from. I am thinking it is a switch off the brake valve that the peddle is attached to in the cab but not sure. any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

The switch is usually on or near the brake foot valve.
