Vw caddy maxi high 3rd brake light

LIS · 2017-06-29 21:56:58

Hi all, Hope I'm posting in the right place. My 131 vw caddy high brake light lens(red bit) got broken,maybe a ball or something. So I bought a new light and fitted it but it doesn't work. I have since tested the old led strip on a 12 v supply and it works. I'm only getting 6 v from the cable,anyone have any ideas,tia

Mostly likely the voltage drop is being caused by bad connection in the wiring, look up voltage drop testing with a multi meter to isolate if its a ground or power side issue.
