Brake lights dont work!!!!Need reply asap
yea! i thought it was just a fuse or something blown but apparently it wasnt! well it was...
i brought up to a small shop and they checked it out, and everytime they put a new fuse in, as soon as i touch the brakes, the fuse blew!
so now they told me to bring it to the dealer, but im scared that it wont be under warranty, or they will blame it on something else like my spoiler, alarm, or something else..ya know how they dealers work...
anyways, if someone could just tell me whats wrong, or how i could fix it, or if i should just bring it to the dealer.
would it be under warranty? cause its happened 3 times already!!
thanks

if a place already told you to go to the dealership, then you should go. It could be a number of things. As far as the warranty issue, usually the dealership will work on it but if they find that the problem is caused by something aftermarket, then they're gonna charge ya. Worst case scenario you drop $100 on getting it fixed, but hopefully they'll cover it. See how cool your dealership is. Mine has yet to charge me for anything done on my car.

you did disconnect the rear brake light and hhok it up to your spoiler right???(not that it really matters).....OEM???........Check all your connections w/ the brake light through the spoiler........
There might be something wrong internally inside the brake light of the spoiler........
try hooking it back up to your normal third brake light also in the deck.........
oh yea, is this the OEM spoiler???.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
