no brake lights on trunk
« on: June 15, 2012, 05:59:48 PM »
kawasaki 47l trunk with light kit...brake lights won't work. turn signals are fine. running lights work. i have a brake alert, flashing brake light, and the kisan signal minder as well as a relay for the rostra cc. my money is on the kisan signal minder inhibiting the brake lights on the trunk. any other ideas???

I have the Admore light kit on my Kawi 47 trunk, Gumbi noticed the other month that I wasn't getting brake lights but running and turn worked fine. Turned out that the blue wire had come undone at the connection and therefor the brake light was always on (I thought it was the running light but no), had that fixed and all good now with running/brake/blinker...  :thumbs:

Check the polarity. The LED's won't work if wired backwards, as I found out myself when installing some on my Givi 47L box...  :-[

it's the kisan signal minder that fouled things up. i disconnected it and all works as it should on the trunk. back to factory non-canceling signals   :(
