spoiler brake light
« on: 10 August 2010, 22:40:13 »

ok, so I have this spoiler fitted on the boot lid,

now the problem is that I think its custom fitted because it has this wire plugged in with the right hand side brake light in the tail light,
what happens because of that is sometimes i dont know how, the right hand side brake light stops working, and I get that message on the display, and i starts working when i remove the wire for the spoiler's brake light.

What do i do to keep then both working ??

Have you actually proved its not working by getting someone to stand behind the car (or reverse up to a wall at night)???????

The Telltale check only measures resistance on the 'lamp' circuit.  It has a tolerance.  If you have extra lights wired into this circuit, it will probably pick up a fault.

sorry, left hand right hand rear lights. what im thinking is that regardless of what the display says, you should be able to get all the lights on , unless the light has been wired in "series" and not parallel as led s only work "polarity" wise one way.
