dcb;

Wiring diagrams I looked at showed a circuit which compares current draw between left and right side brake lamps, but not center lamp at all. I'll recheck the drawings but suspect the center lamp is not causing your stop lamp warning. FWIW, my stop lamp warning comes on sometimes when first starting - due to condensation in one of the lamps. Self-curing after lamps operate a couple of times. I have looked this circuit over a couple of times as I have been thinking of building LED lamps for all of the rear lights and to me it looks like changing one resistor in the warning circuit will keep the warning lamp from staying on after changing to LEDs. I'll recheck it because I was not looking for center lamp and may have missed it.

Replacing burned out LED in center lamp shouldn't be too difficult. Individual LEDs on a circuit board are much easier to replace than almost any other type of manufacture. Resistors are easy to check with even a cheap (<$10) RS meter. Just compare ohms reading across known good and your suspected bad. LEDs are harder to check but not too hard to remove one of your known good LEDs and substitute it temporarily for your suspected bad LED. Most difficult will be locating exact replacement for the LED!

If anyone has specs on LEDs used it would be most helpful to all of us.

Good luck,
Tom

BTW, I bought the Cooper Lifeliner SRTs you recommended. Thanks, good call.
