Hey Tuners, I made a video describing my problem I have. If you're unable to view it I'll be describing the problem in text below.
SKIP THIS IF YOU VIEWED THE VIDEO
So the problem I have is that I replaced the under dash wiring harness after discovering that it had been hacked up and spliced into in multiple places. Aspiring to keep my car clean, I ordered a new one from Miller Imports. The awesome guys there pulled one out of a 95 GS-T and sent it to me. I didn't think to compare the two before installing the new one (my fault). After getting everything connected I noticed that my rear turn signals didn't activate and that my brake lights also wouldn't either.
Turns out I had forgot to plug in this:
This is the connector you'd plug into it (for anyone who stumbles on this thread not knowing)
Unfortunately the wiring harness I received from Miller Imports and installed has a different unit and connector all together. This is the connector:
aaaand this is the much smaller box it gets plugged into:
My hunch is that the CEC "heavy duty electronic flasher" is defective and that's causing my brake light/rear turn signal issue. I'm not quite sure on how to test it. My other hunch is that the wiring harness I installed isn't compatible with my year of GS-T. What do you guys think should be my plan of attack? Ask for an alternative wire harness once I ship the currently installed one back? Anyone have any info that could assist me?
