Third brake light wiring problem
I noticed that the third brake light on the back of the topper on my '95 F-150 works when I hit the brakes and it also flashes when the left turn signal is on. The previous owner has it wired to the left tail light which is obviously the cause. My question is how do I hook it up correctly? There are a few wires under the back of the truck so how do I determine which two are the ones I need? Thanks....

Multimeter is a good item to have in the garage. You could use a test light too. My GFs moms topper 3rd brake light was wired into the trailer light harness.

How do I know which wires to tap into? Is there a #511 on one of the wires? How do I get the wires from the topper to the cab-drill a hole in the back of the cab? Do I legally need the third brake light back there?

Since you don't seem to be an electrical expert, that would be the best connection for you....
