Yeah, I wouldn't think it really wouldn't matter.

Phey....go post over in this thread what you found for the hell of it.
Don't have to be real descriptive, but it might help me to arrange in order of most likely over time.

will do sir...

thank you

basically it is your number 11 possibilities and checks.

11.) Oh…I know one………you didn’t stick an LED in the third brake light position did you? That can cause it! I went through that one myself! Some people don't need a load resistor and some do, the value I've seen recommended is........a 2 watt 150 Ohm wire wound resistor. There are some DIY's on how to put it in if you need to do so. Easy to tell, take out the LED and replace with normal bulb and see if issue goes away!

Also, i forgot to mention that my cruise control in not working at the moment.
I don't know if it is related to dsc light & traction control system light turning on.

Currently, I'm in a search of 150 Ohm 2W resistor to fix my LED 3rd break light ( 2 of the radio shack near my place don't have it ), i bought the whole replacement LED 3rd break light set and i missed placed the stock set, all i have it the connector and the bulb that's why i manage to test it. So, unless i get hold of the resistor i need, i cant test my cruise control... ( too afraid to flag by a police )

sad story of mine.

This 150 Ohm 2W resistor is very hard to find here in Seattle.


i called:
7 Radio Shack store
2 Home depot
2 McLendon Hardware
2 Fry's Home Electronics

i guess ebay is my only option then...

You could put two 1 watt 300 ohm resisters in parallel.

Or try a real electronics supply house, like Allied.

i got it working now...
the abs and traction control system system light is now off.
after a day long of finding the right resistor.



Next job... check the cruise control... I will post the result later
