i got my viper 791xv installed in december, and ever since:

my third brake light doest turn on,

my trunk lights dont turn on when i brake, they only turn on when i turn my headlights on (but dont get brighter when i brake)

so basically in the day time when i brake all u see is my two outer tails turn on. as oppose to all five.

is this a fuse problem or.......?

 

............

 

?

 

????

 

check the fuse box in your engine bay, its 20A fuse for brake/horn

 

will do, thanks

 

That is an alarm & remote starter right? If it is, they have to tap the brake light wire (at the pedal usually) for the starter portion, which could have caused a problem.

 

I'm assuming you checked all the bulbs?
Make sure the bulbs are good. Switch with others if they fit. A month after I installed a new brake light switch on my hatch, all of my brake lights went out & I was like WTF! Thinking they couldnt have gone out at the same time i checked all fuses, switch...driving me nuts. Even when I physically looked at the bulbs they didnt look blown. Not until I changed them is when they worked.

 

the trunk lights do work, they just dont get brighter when i brake at night, and in the day they dont turn on at all.

i had my friend check the fuses and he thought they were fine.......

what should i do now? change the trunk bulbs?

 

Sounds like simply the taillights work, but not the brakelights do not. If you haven't checked the bulbs yet, make sure you atleast try that.

 

the tails & brakes lights have two different filaments...

I believe...dont remember...again, just check the bulbs

 

I'm pretty sure they do, t hough it sounds like a brake switch problem....

 

the third brake light isnt working either.....how do replace that one?

also, what do u mean by "break switch"

and whats the filament?

 

If his other brake lights work it is not a brake light switch problems. Just check the bulbs in the rear trunk first. The middle one I believe you have to unscrew the plastic holder to get to that one but check the bulbs first...takes like two seconds.

Lol. That was funny to read.

The fuse box is under the dash on the driver side. Use the fuse puller and pull the fuse out and look to see if its blown or not. It the metal piece is broken then its blown.

 

i have this same problem.. but it was after i installed my stereo system and my brake lights dont work either.. bump

Does your cluster/climate control light up?

If not, check your fuse as well. 10A or something is the tail light/instrumental fuse.

the fuse for the horn/brake light is under the hood. if it was the one under the dash then the cluster lights would be out

 

yeah my cluster and climate control work.. well my climate control doesnt work anymore cuz some ******* jacked my stereo system and busted my climate control.. so yeah but my cluster still works

 

sorry if the "brake switch" confused you, I meant "brake sensor" I doubt all the lights ONLY used for braking just HAPPEND to die at EXACTLY the same time.....

Just a lil weird, but go ahead, replace all the bulbs..

 

Happened to me

Again dude, try unplugging the bulbs from a brake light that works, take out the one that doesn't inspect the bulb switch it for the hell of it.

 

Sooo....????

 

yes because sets of brake bulbs die all at once like that..
