Valenti Tails, now no Brake lights
 
before everyone starts, i did some searching, already did some trouble shooting which ill explain more in a moment


this all started with the wonderful traction/ABS light coming on,


i currently just installed the Valenti,
i also have a 4th brake light installed (disconnected to make sure it wasnt that)

i have checked the fuses underneath bye the driver side of the car, swapped out fuses to be safe, still nothing

ABS fuses in the engine bay look fine

im writing this while im at work so i dont have the stock tails to install and see if maybe its the tails themself

i reset the battery, pulled the positive terminal


any other suggestions to look at????

Bad news. Many of these stories end with "well the lights toasted my BCU". There is of course no way of checking this short of swapping back.
Did you check the fuse under the dash?

The one under the highlight.

I wouldn't worry about the cracked one so much. There is not much chance they could blame it.

No corrosion in the socket or anything though?
