My brake light pigtail is different than everyones

1993chpssp · Dec 12, 2020

So my brake light is constantly going out and I want to replace the pigtail. I called everybody but they all have ones with three wires, but mines five. Is anyone else’s like that?

I'm sorry. We only accept members with the correct pigtails.

Well the dilemma here is we have no idea what year/model mustang this is.
It is a mustang right?

1993chpssp · Dec 14, 2020

Yeah, it’s a 1993 lx

Ok pics of the plug in question

Maybe it’s different because it’s a ex chp car.

@FoxChasis may know, there is a member here with a ssp car if I can find him.

That sounds really bad if you say it really fast

In My Humble Peckerwood Shop Managers Opinion......

The good thing here is that you do not really need the 5 wire pig tail if the car is not running the police lights in it. I am sure that if you compare them side by side you will only need the 3 wires to use the brakes for every day driving. The other 2 wires probably provided the circuit for the flashers.

Wire colors or photo of the pigtail are really needed to help.

I know I didn’t take the best picture but I can another if need be

General karthief · Dec 15, 2020

So. What is the problem? Just curious about the difference?

1993chpssp · Dec 15, 2020

My tail light turns on but the brake light doesn’t unless I push down on the bulb or put tension on the wires. I tried looking for a new pigtail, and nobody has a 5 wire, only a 3 wire

General karthief · Dec 15, 2020

Stupid me I keep thinking about the old style round based bulb.
follow the harness back to see if it has a connector farther down stream.
The kid is right (post above) you only need 3 wires to make it work. The other two are just doubled up right?

@Mstng93SSP you still have ssp cars right?
What about this pigtail thing

Same as any other car. I'm not home right now so I can't look at mine but I know it is the same as all my other cars.

Is this the breakout of the 5 wires that you're seeing?

I am still laughing at the idea of flashers with pig tails in a patrol car. It sounds like an incident report a state trooper would not want to write.
