This is the way i wired up for my V and flasher brake



I use a Jumper cable between the black and orange to connect the stop and fog solder point.

I think is essentially the same as your wiring.

But with the way im connected there were interference with some of the electrical system in the car.

on the BRZ..

If you wire it up like how it is in my image.

The moment you step on brake.(well at least on my car)
The boomerang light and side marker will turn on. Also at the same time The clock display go blank.. and the air bag and driver seat sing on the right hand side of the clock will dim.

When you release the brake,
Clock display come back and other light not dimmed.
Boomerang light and side marker goes off.


Another member has notice the same problem, and here are his solution to it.

I didnt get the chance to take it off to try it out yet.

The solution was to take the V off the brake light. That means I connected the red wire directly to the green wire so that it doesn't touch the board at all. Straight up red to green. I've had no problems since then.

Just want to see if the way your wire up with the Orange and black wire going to Stop and Fog solder point having the same issues as me by using a jumper to bridge it.
