Pacer Performance20-702 Black Logic Circuit

This could not be any simpler to install. Great product. Shipping a little high but still worth it!

Product is supposed to take individual brake light wires from L & R side and use logic to apply 3rd brake light. My truck has standard incandescent (non LED) tail lights. I wired it up and the 3rd brake light flashed whenever either the left or right signal was on. I am an electrician and understand how to wire things. Does not work - even on incandescent tail lights. Returned.

This product has a bunch of bad reviews from folks who have likely tried to use it on vehicles with LED combined brake/signal lights. It does say in the description that it doesn't work with LEDs, but it can, if you're comfortable adding two resistors.I'm an electrical engineer, and have verified this worked on my module.The module won't care if the third brake light you're connecting is LED or not. But if your existing combined turn+brake lights are LED, it won't work right, because it doesn't see a strong enough path to ground when the lights are off. As a result, the third brake light will flash when either turn signal is activated.What you need to add are called "pull-down resistors." You'll need one on each turn signal wire. In my test, 1kOhm wasn't enough, but 680 Ohms worked great. You'll want to buy 1/2 Watt resistors, so that they can easily handle the heat. See my drawing for installation details.This is an unpaid review, no warranty or guarantees from me implied or otherwise. :-)

This is the lazy man's way of wiring a break light for your truck cap. I had my Leer cap installed on my 2014 F-150 by a Leer dealer and they did the wiring which included installing this device. Had i known that is what they were going to do, i would have stopped them and done the correct wiring myself using the factory provided wire for this purpose. However, the device was already installed so fast forward 6 years and my cap brake light is not working. I checked and instead of 12v going to the light i was only reading 1.3v on the meter. I popped out my tail light and found the plastic outer casing was cracked and broken on the device. I ordered a replacement from Amazon and wired it in. Installation only took 10 minutes since all I had to do was cut the wires to the old device and solder/shrinkwrap them to the new device. I am taking off 1 star because the build quality is pretty low. Something like this device should really last much longer than 6 years if it was built with higher quality materials.

The manufacturer's website as well as amazon listed this as being compatible with my vehicle. It is not. This evidently does not function with LED tail lights, I can't find that fact anywhere on the product's amazon page, the manufacturer's webpage, or on the packaging.I have emailed the manufacturer with no reply; as well as, tried calling them multiple times and can't even get someone on the phone.

Worked great - but you must connect to both directionals so that the 3rd light does not blink with directionals.Mine does blink when the hazards are on - I do not see that as a problem.I did not need resistors like others have suggested - it may be that the leds that I have on a trailer have a built in resistor.

If your pick-up cap or topper was not dealer installed this item is a 'must have' if you want the CHMSL to work correctly. That is, if your brake/stop light and signal lights are a double filament bulb, otherwise the CHMSL will blink when using your signal. That is not only annoying but illegal in most states. This unit solves the problem and makes for a professional looking installation. The need for an additional wire run from the brake light switch back to the CHMSL is eliminated. You only have to run a wire from the right brake light to the left making installation much easier. Once installed, the logic circuit basically 'lies' to the CHMSL whenever you use your signals allowing the light to stay lit when brake is applied and signal in use.Highly recommended and a must have if you want things done right.

The product is supposed to actuate the brake light while not interacting with the individual turn signals. However the piece we received did just that, it activated with the individual turn signals making the topper cab brake light blink instead of having it actuate only when a signal is sent from both lines simultaneously giving only a solid brake light. Hence the one star rating... if you are looking for an item that simply connects the dots and lights things up, and you are not concerned with it working the way it was meant to work, then I guess you will be fine with this product (assuming they all function the same way.)
