## What is wrong

AN INCORRECTLY INDEXED WIRING HARNESS MAY CAUSE THE       CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS OR       PARKING LAMPS ARE ON.  FMVSS 108 LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED        EQUIPMENT REQUIRES THAT THIS STOP LAMP BE LIGHTED ONLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE       APPLIED.  ALSO, THE OPERA LAMPS MAY COME ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.                                                                                          CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP PROVIDES ADDITIONAL     WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR STOPPING.  IF THIS LAMP MALFUNCTIONS, IT  MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A REAR END ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

CORRECTLY INDEX WIRING HARNESS TERMINALS.
