One of the first things I did was delete the bulky 3rd brake light on my convertible by replacing the trunk lid from a coupe. Ever since I bought the car, I've had that pesky little check panel brake light. When I removed the original trunk lid, I was unaware that you could unplug the third brake light harness. I just assumed it went all the way through so I cut it with the intention of jumping the wires to bypass the check light. However, when I tried jumping the the wires, nothing happened. Turns out the wires were torn from the trunk opening and closing over the years. After seeing that, I cut the cable to where it was torn. Here is the final results of jumping the cables:
I finally have check free panel! Hallelujah!
