So I pulled my cabrio 3rd brake light today and am a little confused on the wiring. There are four wires. So I am looking at my Bently and not getting too far. The green/red comes directly off the switch. One of the green/black comes from the active check control unit, which I am guessing is related to the check panel. The other green/black goes to the rear light check relay. The brown is shown ending with three lines of decreasing size under it. If I remember right it signifies a ground and I am guessing grounds the little circuit board that all the wires run through.
So a couple of questions. I pulled the brake light and snipped the wires. I am going to use a Zender spoiler with a 3rd brake light that only has two wires. Do I need to pull the circuit board out of the oem light and use it? Or if I just use two wires (I assume it is the green/red and the green/black going to the rear light check relay) will it cause any issues with the auto check system?
I am not putting the spoiler on until next weekend and I need to get the brakelights working again. Is crossing the green/red and the green/black the right thing to do to get them working temporarily?
I searched around a bit and couldn't find anything on the wiring, hopefully not because it a total noob question. Anyway, thanks for any advice.
