Jim881 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Right I've just read the guide again and I think. Got myself a little confused!!! Regards to the bridging wire I presume you have to supply that part yourself to the equation?!?! Well me being a tit read the guide and caus there he used thick black wire , I used the thick black wire from each connector. I presume this explains why I had a short Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorg Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Apart from just going by colour of wires, find out for sure which is live and earth with an amp meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myimportedbeast Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey pal I've had an idea.....unplug one brake light I.e left right or one of the middle ones then press the brake and do that sequence till u find which one blows the fuse.... If that fails then try a slightly bigger fuse I.e if it's a 10amp then go 15amp as because u hav more current going thru for the 4th brakelight a 10amp mite not cope so try that... People feel free to correct if u doubt it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
