    Hey guys I have an issue where my camper third Brake light lights up, my regular stops lights do not turn on when I press the brakes. But the weird thing is that all three work during the day. Meaning at night when I use my lights only the third brake light seems to work properly. What can it be? I checked the fuses under the hood and all seems ok. :confused: :mad:

    Well those are really god questions... I actually had the camper put on about a year ago and everything worked fine... But one thing I noticed was that when I turn my headlights on at night the stop lights stay on (like if I'm pressing down on the brakes) But when I turn the lights off they go off , not sure if it makes sense...

    It sounds like a bad ground connection.
    try to locate the common ground for the rear lights and make sure everything is tight and plugged in correctly.
