I am installing a run/brake/turn strip on my 2005 Dakota. It's a 5 wire connection ground, running, left signal, right signal, and flashing brake. I know where to get all the signals from the rear of the truck except for the brake since our truck has a cambus system that tells a wire whether to provide steady current for a brake light vs intermittent current for a turn signal.

I have considered getting the brake signal from the 3rd (high center mount) light, but I would hate to run a wire that far.

My truck is an SLT 4.7 V8 2WD. No factory tow package.

Any thoughts where I can get a brake signal that works independently from the turn signal wiring in a simpler manner?

 

Check this thread, that wire should work.

 

Thank you so much! I tried searching the forum but I was using parameters like: rear led light strip. My truck has that wire. Just found it. Way easier!

 

Got pics of the strip? Which one did you use?

 

Hard to get pics of the strip itself due to the way I mounted it. It's a 30 inch LED tail light strip. Offroadtown brand. Designed for side by sides and dune buggies etc. I went this route b/c I couldn't find a spot on the Dakota to mount a full size truck strip where it wasn't readily visible. I believe LED strips should only be seen when they light up.

It's tucked behind the bumper on the rear most frame cross member. I mounted it as low as possible so the light would be visible through the gap between the tailgate and bumper.

I will be wiring it up here in a few. The 30" length is perfect for the mounting position I chose.

Interesting positioning...I like the idea of only seeing the LED glow and not the actual LEDs. Look forward to photos of the strip in action.
