Hello, does anyone know where I can find the schematics for the rear brake lights wiring that controls all three lights? I am trying to hook up a Stop Alert Flasher with G-Force sensor that requires I cut in the main brake light wire. here is the install instructions for the device. http://www.3rdbrakeflasher.com/documentation/Unv3rdBrakeFlasherG1.pdf

Thank you for your help. Would those pins/wires also control the signal on each side? The interesting part about this gadget is the 3-axis accelerometer and thought it might work somehow when driving in L.

If the signal is on the same wires as the brake than that won't work.

It will if you use diodes. I think your best bet is a basic flasher system for the 3rd brake light.

How would you go about wiring it with diodes to make all three lamps work with the flasher? If I'm thinking what you're thinking is get power from third light and run wires with diodes to brake lights and tap there?

Good info there Mister Dave. thank you.

Basically, diodes stop backfeeding through the signal. I would still avoid all 3 flashing as I'd bet your local laws prohibit flashing red lights of any sort.
