Wiring a third brake light
I am attempting to wire a third brake light into the wiring harness from a 1992 Suburban. (It now resides in a 1937 Cadillac). I am using a 1940 Fors tailight as the third brake light; it mimics the decorative chevrons that originally resided on the trunk lide.
How can I wire a third brake light and keep it from blinking when I turn on the turn signals?
Each taillight has a ground, a running light, a turn signal, and a reverse wire. I can plug in the running light wire, but if I use a signal wire it blinks when the turn signal is on. Do I need to run a new wire all the way to the brake switch? If so, do I just splice it in or do I need to find another power source?
Thank you, Jay
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
