Third Brake Light Flasher

[Morpheus_P]

Top of the afternoon to you guys.. Well I ordered a flasher kit from signalz4u.com for $22 and am in the process of installing it, however I just wanted to clarify something. Once I take off the rear panel and disconnect the wire there I am left with a white and black. I am wondering if anyone has done this minor task before because I spliced those and am constantly blowing my tail light fuse. So....I'll have a beer and think about it.. Help!

I think we need a little bit more information on what you are trying to do.

Well.. I am trying to install one of those third brake light flashers I purchased from signalz4u.com. In order for it to work the rear deck has to be removed and the wire that connects the third brake light unplugged and spliced.

Presently the deck is off and wires are exposed from the car's lead. Now after the main wire to ensure it was a lead I am left with a black and white wire. Together they make up the lead as far as the voltage meter goes. (I thought it as going to be the white only)

Now on the actual flasher I have a green ground with a self tapping screw (Easy), a red lead and a black. Directions are very simple stating Red Lead to Lead on car and then the blck to the black. This method is just not working. I tried numerous ways and my fuse still blows so I am bck to regular brake ligts for now. Perhaps I have the wrong wire lead.. but it was coming the third brake light right under the rear deck.

You have the leads reveresed. White is negitive and black is positive. The way you have it, the flasher is shorting the positive wire directly to the chassis thus blowing the fuse.

So Simple yet I did not even see that.. Silly Me.. I'll try that when I get home and see what luck I have. Thanks for the input.
