I just installed my bed cam relocate kit from Custom Solutions PNW, and I just now realized when watching the feed on my center console that the 3rd brake light at the top of my cap flashes with my left turn signal!

Does anyone know where I need to tap this light to pick up only the brake signal and not just the rear lamp status? I have an XLT 302A Sport, in case there are different brake lights for XLT's...

There is a wire under the hood that is used for the brake light on a cap. You may need to inable it working with ForScan if I remember correctly. Search this forum for the thread on using that connection.

Sorry, I've spent a while putting every key word I can think of and the stupid forum search isn't turning up anything for me... I'm sure it exists from your comment but I just can't find it.

Awesome! Thank you both so much. I swear I tried 10 different words and every combination imaginable. I can't ever get these forums searches to work right :(

Would have never found that wire either, haha. Thanks again
