brake light fuse [now my car won't start], New JDM tails beginning to sound like bad news! read update Options

[Lovo]

I just installed some JDM tails that I purchased on the B/S forum... I went to check my brakes and they wouldn't come on, so I checked the bulbs first... they're fine. I switched whatever harness it came with to my own to see if it was the wiring on the harnesses from the lights... Still no brakes, so I look for a burned fuse with the old harnesses still plugged up. Fuse 15a for "Stop" under the dimmer was burned. So I put in a fresh one and stepped on the brakes with the old harnesses plugged up. No brake lights...

I'm almost starting to think I've been driving without brake lights for a few days and I probably just haven't noticed.

What do you guys think? I don't really want to drive around without a brake light... so I want to get this fixed in the morning... ahhh the sweet smell of urgency... can you smell it?

So I went ahead and tried to see if it was the kill switch on the alarm, and I'm guessing its not, it still did not start with the battery trick.

I tried switching batteries, no luck.

I pulled out the starter and got it checked at Autozone... running great.

I finally decided to try some things, to see if there is a problem in my wiring... So I took a wire to the positive part on the starter and a wire to the positive part of my battery, went in my car put the key on "on" in the ignition and then I pushed the clutch in and gave the starter some juice... voila!; the car started!

I made a little switch and mounted it in my interior through the holes in the firewall for the hvac control. Now I can take it to the dealer to have them find where the faulty wiring is and let them fix it!

woooo
