broken brakelights

[Jordan325iC]

Both brakelights are no working. Changed fuses 6,22 and 23, changed the brakelight switch, bulbs are good, wiring looks good.

I've heard there's some box that controls the brakelights, but I don't know where to find it in the cabrio. Any help?

donno about the box, but it could be a splice or a ground

[Jordan325iC]

I have no clue about electrical stuff. What can I check, I have no idea what a splice or a ground is.

Probably a bit out of your element here, any buddies familiar with electronics?

[chuckybob]

a splice is where two wires are connected into one, a ground is where an electrical circut makes contact with the chasis to complete the circut. if the splice is broken, or the ground is dirty and/or rusted through, electricity wont be able to go through, and stuff stops working. as for which grounds and splices, i have no idea. i think maybe splice 201?

I've found 2 loose connections with enough play that they could have possibly connected to something else, but I'm not sure.

A black connector with 2 flat connectors with a brown/black wire going to it, says +12V on it.

A long orange connector with 6 round connections on it, with a white/black, a green/black, a red, a purple and a brown wire going to it.

I don't see anywhere obvious for those to connect to. Any of that help?
