Hey guys, so here is my problem, no brake lights. And no low beams after about 2 mins

questions to be answered if possible.

1. how many powerwires go to the brake light switch? diagram would be GREAT.
2. The rear lights have an "extra" small bulb with the yellow rubber that goes into the side of the rear light housing, I have pressed all my buttons but it doesn't light, what is this bulb for?
3. Head lights low beam works, for about 2 mins and then they cut out. Hi-beams still work fine.
4. Here is an interesting one. I got this jeep cheap but it didnt start, turns out it does start but will not if the brake pedal is depressed. if you don't touch the brake or 4ways it will start everytime without worries. Any ideas?

Thanks, trying to fix this stuff this weekend.
Thanks

1. That depends on if you have cruise or not. I think
2.This bulb is a side clearance light
3. Do the high beams ever cut out after a certain amount of time? My bet is it is the high beam switch on the steering column about half way down on the driver side. It has a rod going to it. Find the power wire and the wire that goes to the low beams and bypass it. If the problem does not come back, then get a new switch. If it does then it might be the actual headlight switch.
4. Is it an automatic? When the brake is depressed, does the key not turn? Or does it turn, engage the starter and the engine won't start? If the key won't turn then it might be the cable that leads from the column to the shifter.
