Hi there,

have owned my 1994 ST202 for nearly 6 years now, and the rear spoiler LED brake light has never worked. I wasn't too bothered, as there are still 5 other brake lights (4 in the tail lights, and the high level one above the number plate, as the car is an import), but I have now decided it deserves to work, as it's sitting there anyway. Does anyone have any hints as to where to look for the wiring, or other things to check to get it working? Also, could it be set up to work as a rear foglight?

Any suggestions welcomed.

i'm not too familiar with the SS-I but in general, the wiring for it should be right under the panels on ur hatch. Pop those off and look for wires that are going into the spoiler. Grab a multimeter and test for voltage.
Yes it can be setup as rear foglights, however LEDs won't provide much light for it to be useful. If you want to do it, you can bring a wire from a switch in the front (use the cig power as the source) and track down where the wires pass to get to the LEDs and once you find a nice spot to cut, connect ur switched wire to the wire going towards the rear. This of course, takes a conciderable amount of work and familiarity with car electrical.
