I did a search for info and found this one:
http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80221&highlight=high+mount+brake+light
I haven't found the referenced wire on my '04 Ranger. A search on the web indicated that that wire is not included in the '04 and some earlier models. Is that correct?
I notice there is a fuse in the interior fuse box for the standard high mount brake light. It seems reasonable to tap into that circuit for the topper light. I do not have the wiring diagram for the truck yet. Does anyone know the color code for the wire to the cab brake light?
FWIW, I have found a couple of logic circuits that could be used. Either would tie into the two brake light wires and drive the topper light, without blinking with the turn signals. One is a Pace model 20702. I haven't found the specifications to determine whether it can handle incandescent bulbs, tho. Has anyone tried it?
I would prefer to go with a logic circuit, but it would be good to be able to fix this thing in the next few days--SWMBO wants to take the truck to her dad's next week. There is no source for those things near here and the web sources I have found can't deliver soon enough.
TIA.
