Okay, the LED flasher I bought made everything else work right, but obviously not the cruise. Using LED Bulbs on the brake lights make your cruise not work since it is wired in the same system.

I've got 2 of the resistor loads to hook up, but am not sure what wire to connect to.

I need to know the following.

Do I connect to the brake light wire for the brake running light?
Do I connect to the brake light wire for the bulb that turns on when the brake is pressed?

With that question answered, which wire back there is for which of the above? I'd really REALLY like to get my cruise fixed this weekend.

Thanks man, but you really should read fully. I HAVE read, I've written 1/2 of the posts that mention about resistor loads and LED bulbs here.


Anyone got a clue here? I'm shite with wiring diagrams.

The load resistor goes between the wire that lights when the brake is pressed and ground.

I don't know which wire lights it up.

that's kinda the point for the thread. LOL

But it goes between the power and ground wire for that circuit?

Sounds like a plan. I have to get to that one 6X9 Audiobahn in the drivers side again, that piece we glued came back off. Time to shop fo rnew speaks for my tib, hearing your Fo KAL's might help.

I wish folks would read.


LOL

Caj, multimeter would be a good idea. I just don't really know how to use mine. Maybe I'll mess with that tonight.
