topper wiring?

ok, so I got a topper for my truck bed, and I dont know how to wire up the 3rd breaklight. The breaklights are also the turn signals correct? if thats the case, how do you wire the 3rd breaklight without it blinking?

simple -wire comes directly from the brake light switch
i.e. not wires going through the column switch

thats how i did mine. i ran it right with the front to back wiring in the frame rail and up through the left rear bed pocket

yes the brake light switch is the only place to get brake lights without being affected by the turn signals
