Wiring brake lights w/o stock harness
#1
![Exclamation](https://www.rx7club.com/images/icons/icon4.gif)
I'm just finishing up my rewire in my car and I got everything nearly together, except this. Its 90% of the time it is a track car where it 70% of the time there isn't wheel to wheel racing.
however ice racing is wheel to wheel and 100% of the time the events the car is driven on the street.
I have the service manual.

but I'm not utilizing the stock CPU.
I have the tail lights wired into my accy with key on but I don't know which wires make the brake lights illuminate brighter when I press the brake pedal. or which connectors on the brake pedal switch go where.
4 pins on the brake pedal switch.
1 is ground
1 has to be power
1 has to be load
1 is load as well?

The brake switch found on the brake pedal should have two wires. G/W should have constant power supplied by the 20 amp Stop fuse. When the pedal is depressed the G/W wire passes voltage on to the W/G wire. In bypassing the CPU the W/G wire would then connect to the Green wire of the rear harness that connects to the brake lights. Of course there is the Black ground wire which also connects to these lights.

I just wanted to get the bulbs to illuminate when I hit the brake like normal when brake pedal is depressed.
My old harness was all sorts of shorted and bad but I don't mind having my lights always on with the key on. Its like day time running lights! lol
Also, the headlamps are on a different circuit, no more pop ups.

then what are the BY and Y terminals for? cruise control cut off?
then to wire it:
red wires of lights go to accy on ign switch
green wires of lights connect to W/G terminal of brake switch
G/W is fused inline to accy on ign switch to provide power source to brake switch
got it.
