Replace any burned out brake lamp bulbs, including the High Mount brake lamp bulb, as
shown in Figure 1. It is also important to note, that a bad ground for the rear lamp assembly,
has also been known to cause the identical symptom. Refer to Figure 5 for the rear lamp
assemblies ground location.
CORRECTION NO. 2:
For those vehicles that have had the stock incandescent bulbs replaced with aftermarket LED
bulb assemblies, it may be necessary to install a 6 ohm- 50 watt Load Resistor across the
brake light power wire to simulate the load of the regular stock incandescent bulb (See
Figure 6). Note: One resistor is required for use on each LED bulb assembly.
The 6 ohm, 50 watt Load Resistors are available from the suppliers of the LED bulb
assemblies. Two examples are "superbrightleds.com" and "digikey.com". Cost of the
resistor is approximately five dollars U.S.
