Hello!

Do you know if it is missing power or ground?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

I have power because the double filament bulb works when the running are on.

Expert:  Amedee replied 1 year ago.

Can you tell me what color wire has power on it?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

give me one second

 

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

I have 10volts on the red wire with the black stirp. I have an open on the black wire. Plus there is no continuity to ground on the black wire. I thought the wires were hooked in series?

 

Expert:  Amedee replied 1 year ago.

IS this a coupe, sedan or a wagon?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

sedan

Expert:  Amedee replied 1 year ago.

Excellent!

both right rear brake lights should have ground going to them on the black wire. The right brake light on the trunk lid should have power on the green/red wire with the brake pedal pushed and the other rear brake light should have power going to it on the green/white wire with the brake pedal pushed.

O.k I will try running a ground wire to the black wire that is not on the trunk light. If it gets too late I will leave this conversation opern till tomorrow and I will let you know how I made out

Expert:  Amedee replied 1 year ago.

Thanks for the accept!

Also, just for grins, check to be sure that the center mount stop lamp is working inside the vehicle.

There is a brake light sensor that powers all three of these bulbs up. But if your sure there is power, this brake light sensor should be good.
