I'm just trying to change my brake lights over for LEDs, but ran into a small problem.
I tested the 3 pin Jazz brake connector with a volt meter and it seems there is no common ground pin which my LED lights require. Instead, the voltage on the middle pin changes from GROUND to +12V when you hit the brakes ?!
So when the parking lights are on, Left is +12V and Middle is GROUND.
When you hit the brakes, Middle is +12V and Right is GROUND. Is this normal or is mine wired up incorrectly?! Its a pain because that'd mean I have to put in a relay to get the switching right for my Common Ground LED bulbs.
