If there is voltage at the connector when brakes are applied the led board is likely bad. Unless, there is an issue in wiring from the connector to the LED circuit board.

1. LEDs have a polarity so if tint ppl unplugged the brake light and then reversed the connection (if that is possible with the type of connector used) when reconnecting, that might be causing the problem.

2. If, in the process of tinting, something was pulled or tugged; might be a short in the wire lead breaking the electrical connection to the LEDs.

In any event, it's nice to have a warranty. It should be easy to diagnose when it gets looked at by a trained tech! Hopefully it won't take as long to order a part than it does to order the dang car!!!!!
