I just realized my stock spoiler brake light is not working when i apply the brakes. where should i start in checking out what might be wrong so i can get the light working again ?

thanks

 

do the brake lights work at all? check the fuses, its either the 2-4 fuse under the steering on the left. i think it is a 15 amp fuse. maybe your led's are shorted

 

My light went out a couple years ago too, not all of it but just part of it. I bought a whole new LED light for the spoiler, I think it cost about $30.
Check here for one (I think this is it if some one could confirm it though) :

all the brake lights work but not the spoiler. you know i just got the car back from being painted. im wondering if the spoiler had to come off and some wires just didnt get hooked up? what to do ..going to check into it in the morning ?

 

Check & make sure its plugged in! Remove the trunk lid cover by popping out the plastic retainers......

 

yes, remove the "carpet/sound damping" by removing hte clips. the connector is towards the middle and is small in size. make sure it is connected.

 

Call up the paint shop and ask if they took off the spoiler and tell them that now it's not working. They'll check it and maybe fix it for free

 

Yes, check to make sure it is connected. if it is, then check the wires comming out of the brake light, and make sure they are not cut, dammaged, or pulled.

i had the same thing happen to me, and when i took it off, i saw that the wires were cut in half due to poor instalation. i just had to simply solder them back together, tape them up, and file down some metal so it would not cut the wires again. check it out, and let us know how it works out.

When I installed my spoiler, the only way to get the LED to work was if the wires were spliced while the car was on. Weird, I know, but it wors. Try that, and tell me how it works for yah.
