91 high mount stop light ???

I just found a wire in my spare tire compartment, traced it down and it hooks to my hmsl, tested the light, it doesn't work.... Someone tried wiring it to something I guess before I owned the car. To re-wire the hmsl so that it works with the brakes, (like it's supposed to be) how would I go about doing that? Any info would be awesome, thanks guys!!

You need to find out if the wire for the superfluous light is operational.

Using a voltmeter or test light
(the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the wire to see if there is power when you step on the brakes.

Is there?

The wires are non existent. I just found this out when cleaning my car, there are no wires running from the light at all... That's why I asked.

The fast way is to run a wire from the real brake lights to the superfluous light.

The original way is a wire from the brake-light switch terminal C, to the superfluous light positive.

You can connect the ground side to any ground, but to be original, use the ground near the dome light.


Happy Racing!
