    Hi all,

    I have just replaced my centre brake light unit as a few of the LEDs had gone on the old one.

    I have just connected everything back up, started the car, and tried the brake light. It doesn't work at all.

    I then did a hard reset (disconnect the battery, leave for a while then re-connect)

    It's still not working? Part is brand new from Ferrari.

    Any ideas?

    The outer two brake lights work fine, and from the manual, it only shows one fuse for the stop lights, I would imagine its on the same fuse.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    Do you have a volt meter? Can you test whether power is being delivered to the unit?

    I had a similar issue and from memory the 2 wires were the wrong way around, I swapped them and they started working...

    Sorry I can't remember any more detail, but I was stumped by it and then I had to switch the wires I believe and got it working

    If they are LED make sure you have the proper polarity wires connected, meaning unlike ordinary bulbs LED require the correct current flow, as mentioned switch your wires around and always test before you instal.
