Spoiler Light not working!

[dineth]

Hey guys, i have a S1 R33 gts-t and recently i noticed that when i brake, my spoiler light dont come on but the other 4 brake lights work fine. Wonder whats wrong? is it a fuse? any help or info would be much appreciated. thanks.

It'll be the diode in the light. Take it off, seperate the red bit from the black bit (this is hard) and you'll see a disintegrated diode on the circuit board. Replace it for about $1, if you can solder Fairly common problem.

thanks fot hat man. from what i hear taking the red bit form the black bit is one of the hardest things to do!! its dman annoying that all that work will only be done to replace a 1 dollar diode!!!

Yep. It's a b*tch. But the alternative to to spend something like $150 for a "new" one... It took me 3 attempts with a stanley blade lol!

If you want to save the pain first, take out the light bar and use a multimeter to test the connector sitting in your wing. Get a mate to press the brake pedal or something. It's probably wasting time, but if it doesn't show up 12 volts then there's a wire problem.
