brake light stencil

[daveskatesallday]

so out of boredom i made a stencil just for the heck of it and put it on my 3rd brake light attached to the glass of the hatch BUT the light went out and i can't get it to work so it's not going how i planned

anyway once its working hopefully i'll figure it out sometime tomorrow i'll post pics

well then.... keep us posted good sir

[daveskatesallday]

definitely i hope i can get it fixed tomorrow lol i can't stop thinking about fixing it -__-

[daveskatesallday]

well checked it out more today but im stumped i changed the bulb, checked the fuses they were good, apparently it's not getting power and i dunno why -__-

anyone have suggestions/help? (i really am not good when it comes to wiring btw)

do your regular brake lights come on when you press on the brake? if not, check the brake switch located above the brake pedal

[daveskatesallday]

yea the brake lights work fine so since they worked i assumed the fuses were good cause if they were bad the lights wouldn't even come on but i changed em out anyway but if the switch was bad the brake lights wouldn't come on im assuming so maybe it's something else im stumped

im trying to get the light working

make sure there is no corrosion on the terminals of the connector and in the socket make sure they are connected correctly then start continuity checking the wires to there power source and ground source checking the grounds while your there. also make sure your running the right bulb.

[daveskatesallday]

it seems like the inside part of the socket pops in and out a lot i don't think it's supposed to come out too much for some reason the connector on the side of the socket isn't getting power but the other side is fine so it's either the connector on that side or the socket but im going to the junkyard tomorrow sometime and see what i can find hopefully i can get this working so i can see this funny stencil lol

[daveskatesallday]

lol. not yet. just don't want this thread to get stupid before pics are even available. share pics when you get 'em dave.

[daveskatesallday]

i understand well do what you gotta but now i need help figuring out why this light wont work it's way over my head seems like it isn't getting power checked the grounds and it's good not really sure what could have randomly happened if i never touch it O_o

any ideas/suggestions?

the bulb is good, i checked the wiring with the voltimeter and it didn't have any jump in the reading (im new to this) had 3 other ppl check it and 2 said one side had power and the other side with the socket wasn't getting power and 1 said that there isn't any power but i dunno how that can just randomly happen im pretty stumped on this one
