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. |

I use a 1Kohm 1/2watt resistor (Radio Shack has them) - wire it across the 2 small wires that go directly to the lamp assembly.

Thanks Alan. I will give that a try when Radio Shack gets the resistor in. Disregard the email I sent you the other day. For future reference the connector/harness at the top of the hatch near the hinges only has two wires. The larger one is for the rear window defrost and the smaller one is for the brake light power. The brake light housing must be grounded to the hatch so I will have make up a new wire to go from the other side of the resistor and run it to ground.
