Third (center) LED brake light 2003 Winnebago Mini 24V

Question

Howdy Folks,Looking for any input here.  3rd LED brake light not working.  Willing to replace the signal wire as the ground wire checks out.  But the I can't get it to work with only the brakes .  Meaning in addition to coming on with the brakes - it also comes on when the left and right signal is on.  Don't wan't that.  Any suggestions?Thank you

Brake/Turn signals function through the turn signal switch. Brake lights also function AFTER passing through the turn signal switch.

Find the entirely separate brake light switch under dash. Look for mechanical linkage connecting the push the plunger switch on the steering column. Move the brake pedal and follow the movement. An 18 gauge wire will be plenty to power the LED lamp.

There may be several wires connected to the brake light switch. Use a test light and start jabbing wires. Use a parallel or T-Tap to hook another wire on.

TIP! FUSE THE NEW WIRE WITH A 2 AMP INLINE FUSE as running a new wire is going to make your brake ans turn signals much more vulnerable to under the rig shorts. Use an ATO / ATC inline fuse. Two amps is plenty enough to feed five separate 3rd brake lights.
