Brake light doesn't work

Post by BAT »

The light works, but no brake light, the turn signals are integrated into it, but they work. The switches are working.

It clicks and completes the signal.

Is it a stock tail light you integrated or is it an aftermarket one?

The previous owner did it, it appears to be stock tailights. I'm guessing the turn signals are using the same wire path to the bulb? Maybe that junction is where the problem is. I'll look in the morning or check power at the switches.

The problem is in the little black integrator box. Got power from the brake switches to the box, but not out. It probably shit out when the VR was putting out 18 volts. So I guess I need a new integrator.

Intergrator box huh? It's probably just a trailer light pack. A lot people use them to integrate the rear lights

I just went to radioshack and picked up some of the relays for the "poor man's integrator". But after realizing my solder and gun are too big, had to buy that too. Ended up spending 40 bucks for a poor boy mod. All should be well now once I figure the wiring out. Not excited about it.
