P1000 Rear Brake Light issues

[hopeicanaffordthis]

Hey all, i did a dual battery set a few years ago and have always had a rear taillight issue (i don't know if my install caused any issues). i took my machine to the dealership where i purchased it and they couldn't find anything (running light works for a short time and then dies, new light installed with same outcome, but brake light engaged works just fine) and charged me quite a bit to tell me that. i just picked up the turn signal kit from the club store and i want to check the amps to light before installing (don't want to damage any new parts). any one experienced this issue or have a diagnostic approach to share? thanks in advance!

There has been several people with similar issues...

But, what are you trying to test again?
How many amps the light needs to run?
Or..
How many amps the wire outputs?

The first is an easy check, the second should be around 12v at what should be a max 5 amps.... I think.

QUESTION....
I want to ask if you have a Stinger or Cole herse relay, or similar connected to key-on power?

Hello.

I would like to know of you have a Stinger or Cole herse relay, or similar connected to key-on power?

Thanks.

Can you show some pics or sketches of how things are wired?

All grounds should be checked, cleaned and start from there.

If the “running lite (tail light?) ‘ works for a while then dies - can you check it still has 12v going to it when it dies, etc.

It’s a pita to troubleshoot but maybe start with disconnecting all the 2nd battery stuff and see what ya got. Not knowing if the problem existed before or after the 2nd battery doesn’t help .
