So I'm having an issue with my LED's. Everything seems to work ok with the blinkers and running lights, but when the brakes are applied, the drivers side brake light is not coming on. I've heard of some people having similar issues and wires being crossed up, but I'm not sure if it's this exact problem or not. Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same problem with my blinkers, I flipped the wires around, it was the polarity of the LEDs, maybe that's the problem?

ie: pull the left brake wire out, do a 180, stick it back in

Get a test Light and use something or get some to press the brake pedal and see if its getting power.

Sounds like a problem with the polarity..

I had that problem with my driver blinker when i installed my LEDs... the polarity was reversed AND it blew the fuse. reversed the polarity and replaced the fuse... Wala!

My brake pedal switch was bad. Check fuse also.

I've had brake pedal switches that have gone bad on my other cars, but if I remember, both brake lights quit working when this happened. Also, if the fuse blew, wouldn't this cause both brake lights to not work as well? Just trying to cover all of my bases here. I'm going to try and work through this thing pretty soon.
