Strange brakelight/tilt wheel problem...Help please

This is probably something easy, but I'm the worst at electrical work. Here's the problem:

My brake lights cut out if I lower my steering wheel past a certain point, which is too high to drive comfortably. The 3rd brake light is not affected at all though. I just found this today and held the brake pedal down and watch them go out as I lowered the tilt and come back on as I raised it.

Can someone please tell me what wire (color/location) to look for under the column that may be getting bent or pulled.

Thanks for any help.

Tim

Found it......

Thanks anyway.

It was the white wire at the plug harness just under the drop down panel at the base of the steering column. Everytime I moved the wheel down it pulled it just out connection. The wire had come out of the connector. Easy fix......this time.

Hope this might help someone one day.
