Inspection: Brake Lamp Light

[MyCord]

So my brake lamp light has been on forever.. here's all the info.

All 4 tales work and brake lights work
Reverse lights work
Signals work

*3rd brake light does not get power
**I installed a spoiler and ran a wire to the third brake light but there is no power
***I'm now going to run the wire to a break light, which wires should I tap?

I'm getting an inspection and my main concern is the brake lamp light is on, but everything works, so is there a way to turn it off or will they even fail me for that?

Thanks

its a courtesy indicator, not a malfunction light, as long as all your bulbs are in fact working, they should not fail you for that.

but it is a common problem for our cars to indicate blown bulbs when there arent any.

what you need to do is change some simple wiring in the driver side outer tail light, where the plug leads into the brown box mounted in the tail light. the White/Green wire should be connected directly to Ground (tap into any of the black wires) isntead of leading to the brown box. this bypasses the 'check' system and makes the dashboard think youre A-Okay.

Well I figured everything out because of the white/green wire you mentioned. I didn't have that wire so I looked at the haynes diagram and realized my harnesses were backwards from when I put in the red clears in. Now the spoiler/led is hooked up and everything is working properly. When I swapped the harnesses the brake lamp light went off but then came back on once I hit the brakes so I cut the wire and grounded it to the bolt and now it no longer is on. So everything is all set! Thanks for the help!
