Do you have a 3rd brake light on the wing? If so just plug the connector to it.

 

Not the wing, 3rd brake light on the car itself. It's right above the stock rear spoiler that moved up and down when you reached a certain speed.

That doesn't light up right now

 

Is this connector from your new wire harness you bought? If your wing has no brake light, that is not the right harness for it. I doubt that the brake light on tje car was disconnected for a wing install..

 

Double check the part number for the harness you bought against the one listed above.

 

My wing doesn't have a 3rd brake light. It's similar to a gt3 997.2 wing, actually we have the same wing. I remember your FS post.

I have the wrong cable?

 

This is the part number I ordered: 997 622 670 70


****, it's not the same.vorsteiner makes 2 wings, with and without 3rd brake light

 

I'm guessing you have the wrong cable. Since my fixed wing didn't have a 3rd brake light on it, there was no connector to connect, nothing left dangling like in your pic. In fact, the body shop that did my install did the exact same thing as your install - except they just took some wire cutters and cut off the unused lead...! So I had to order another cable after I started poking around on Suncoast's website and noticed a visible difference... I got the proper cable from my local dealer, had to unwire everything the body shop did, and then plug in the correct one. Actually, it was easy to do.

If you ordered the spare cable that was used for the install, you should have the part number to refer to and compare.

Good luck.

 

Scoper, is your 3rd brake light on the car itself (above where the factory spoiler was) working?

 

That's different than the one I got.

 

Yes. Glows nice red on the wing .

You are having the exact same issue I had when I first installed my wing. It's gotta be the cable.

 

K, wil check on it tomorrow

 

By the way, thanks jam996 and scoper

 

I started my own thread and then found this one. I ordered the wrong wiring harness because there was some wrong info in another thred. heres to clarify:

If you have a fixed wing without a 3rd brake light you need: 997-612-670-71

If you have a wing WITH a 3rd brake light you need: 997 622 670 70

 

This is the only thread I found with 3rd brake light issues. I have NOT put my wing on and I'm getting check 3rd brake light and the rear wing operation fault/failure. Weird cause wing works as designed when u hit speed and when I push manual button it goes up and down. Yet light comes on. And brake lights DON'T work whenever I raise manual so I have to get out as jiggle the harness in front of right rear brake light. Driving me nuts!!!! Waiting to install my wing until this is fixed. Hate to add insult to injury and really F something up. Any advice or similar issues????

 

Viger,

Saw your other post in the other thread, too. This unfortunately is a different issue - your current harness likely has a loose connection. Comes down to electrical troubleshooting rather than what is discussed in this thread which is more getting the correct harness for a fixed wing etc.

If you are really handy with a multimeter, you might be able to isolate which wire or connector is faulty. Otherwise it would be up to dealer or Indy - and they might just tell you to replace the whole harness (depending if it's on the spoiler side or the harness connecting to the spoiler... - certainly don't know how much that would cost.

Good luck.
