I located the post. It is titled, "P2 V70 & S60 headlight fix" and was posted by FUBAR. I'll try and see if the shunt repair works for the brake lights as well. Thanks for the reference.

I am receiving a "check brake lights" message. Only ther center light comes on. I have checked the fuses, replaced the bulbs on the left and right side and have swapped relays to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks.
