    Led on spoiler issue

    Hello folks I have a 93 accord with a 91 se spoiler on it. My problem is when I hooked it up My brake lamp indicator comes on and stays on as soon as I hit the brakes. Also my 3rd brake light no longer comes on. The main problem I have is my spoiler lights are not as bright as they should be. Has anyone had this issue before with plug and play? If so please fill me on on how to fix this issue. Thanks

      Did your '93 have a spoiler on it originally?

          The harness disables the 3rd brake light, as there is one on the spoiler.

          To fix the brake lamp on your dash, you need to replace the small box in the passenger side tail lamp with one from a car with a dealer installed spoiler (or the one from the SE that you took the spoiler off of).

            ^Exactly what I was going to say. My '92 EX Coupe came without a spoiler. I found one at the JY for $20 and it all hooked right up. I believe the EX and SE models had the brown box on the inner tail light. Mine was plug and go. Very easy! I did find that the spoiler made the trunk lid very heavy and the stock torsion rods had to be switched to the ones off of the salvage car.

              Thanks guys. Ill have to head out to the local jy when the weather is better and find that box. That will help out a lot

                FWIW when I added a spoiler to my 89 SE-i sedan it came from a coupe since sedan versions weren't offered. As I recall I had a similar issue but my fix was a quick & dirty.

                I simply left the incandescent bulb plugged into the CHMSL and pulled it out so it wouldn't show through the window... worked well for many years.

                  Does that harness also control the power antenna, or is that a separate harness? It might be good for the OP to grab that while he's in the car if his antenna is still working.

                  When I installed my aftermarket OEM style spoiler I just tapped the 3rd brake light circuit. I ended up with redundant 3rd brake lights, which some people may or may not like. Never ran into any issues doing it, but if I had the ability to have an OEM setup, I'd much prefer that.
