Hey guys, here's my problem and what I've tried so far.

My current trunk brake light has a crack and I bought an aftermarket LED light to replace it and it won't work. The old one works perfectly fine but the replacement doesn't.

Things I've tested:

• Checked voltage at connector for light and got 11.7 volts
• Touched replacement light wires to battery and the light came on
• Added load resistor since the replacement draws less and still didn't work.

Any ideas to what it could be? Appreciate the help in advance, thanks.

 

Probably a junk aftermarket light thats broken

 

This is the second one though, the first one I bought I plugged it in and it didn't turn on so I just assumed it was completely broken but it probably was just the same problem I'm having now.
