No brake lights.
Do you have the old (original) lights? Do the brake lights work if you hook those up? If you apply 12V directly to the brake light connections of the new LED lights do they work? I believe that LEDs are polarity specific. Is it possible the brake light LEDs were connected backwards?


This may be a bit off topic (but maybe not...). Decades ago when I bought my 1961 MGA (I was in high school) I was getting it ready for its state inspection. But I couldn't get the brake lights to work. The switch tested OK, the bulbs tested good, all the wires were intact but they wouldn't illuminate when I pressed the pedal. After much consternation I discovered that the ignition switch needed to be 'on' for the brake light circuit to get power. Who'd a thunk?
