ok.... there was an ufortunate insodent over the summer invoving my rear hatch being shattered! well i dont want to talk about that, anyways i have an 85' so it didnt come with a 3rd break light, but the new hatch i got is from a 91, is there anything i can do to make that light funtional? as long as its there i might as well make it work.

Connect one of the wires from the 3rd brake light to the blue (brake light) wire in the harness that goes out the LH rear of the body to the back lights. Connect the other wire from the 3rd brake light to chassis ground.

 

how would you sugest running this wire? i dont want loose wire running all over the place.

 

Run the wires behind the plastic molding strip that is at the rear of the head liner & then behind the LH plastic body panel back to the left rear of the cargo compartment, where the tail light harness exits the chassis.

 

thanx

 

You could get the dome light wiring harness from a '91 or '92 car which has the wiring to the 3rd tail light in it. You would just have to run it and plug it in down near your hood release. Simple and factory.
