Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has ever removed their third (high mount) brake light on a 94 Camaro and had to deal with the AB inop fault that occurs? I have been doing some reading online and apparently they integrated the high mount bulbs into the ABS circuit and if you remove the assembly or have a burned out bulb your ABS will stop working. Hats off to the genius who came up with this design! Any help would be appreciated, thanks. |

Any idea on what size resistor and how many watts it should be? The harness has only two wires, so I'm assuming that the larger gauge wire is for the rear window defrost and the smaller wire is for the brake light. I am guessing I will need to find a good ground and connect the resistor across the smaller wire and ground.
