Ring Light and Brake Light not working

[brianathesavage]

Hello, I recently installed a quadratec ring light and neither the ring light and third brake light above the spare work. It seems to not be getting any ground but I can't find the fuse in the fuse box. All wiring is good and there is no pinching anywhere. What to do?

Has it worked at all since you connected it?
What happens when you pull the harness out of the equation and just connect the original brake light? Does it work?
Do you have a multi meter to test with or maybe a test light?

This / your issue is a self inflicted so to speak issue..

You or someone else tapped into the factory 3rd brake light ...... muffed the procedure or or did poor connections, etc. and ended up with 3rd brake light being inoperative.

Can't fault the "brand new jeep" for that but rather the person that bastardized the 3rd brake light set-up/harness..

Since you have not been able to remedy this issue yourself, I suggest you remove your 3rd brake light ring... get the JL back to stock, and then go to the dealer and have them address the issue..

Perhaps, if you do not tell them / volunteer that the 3rd brake light had benn bastardized you may find them fixing under warranty / at no cost to you.

I figured it out..its actually the wire harness itself..I ordered a new one..

Make sure you don't install the wiring harness backwards, at first glance I thought that you should just unplug the 3rd brake light and use the side of the harness with 2 connectors up top and the 1 connector side hooked up to the ring light but that is incorrect. The single side of the harness plugs into the 3rd factory break light and then you have to take the factory wire all the way down and plug it into the harness with 2 connectors and plug the ring light into the the 2nd connector.
