Question: 2009 C-6 Newbi... Question, But I do have 65 BB 502

[Viet Nam Vett]

Hey c-6 guys... my first question as a 2009 C-6 owner. It's a techy question. I woud like to install the "Back Off" Brake flasher unit to the third eye center lamp on the aero fin of the c-6 deck.

I have one installed on my 2007 HUMMER H3 and they work great. It flashes the lamp 4 times then locks it on when you hit the pedal once. Makes it a real attenion grabber. It also can be programed for other flashing secnarios.

I did a search for wiring on the center brake lamp or third eye...but na-da. I need to acees the 12 volt feed line to the lamp and also ground the flash unit. The ground I don't think will be a problem since the lamp probably has a ground wire feed to it since aour cars are not metal.

the unit is about the size of a pack of smokes...small and has a sticky tape mount.

Any Ideas or pic's or discription of how and where to gain Easy access would be appricated.



Anyone know how to get into that wiring on a cp? Thanks guys.. By the way.. I'm loven this C-6. The last non mid Year was a Suoercharge C-4 I had for 20 Years. Gone but not forgotten:cool

Congrats on the new ride.

Check out Mid America's C5/C6 Corvette Third Brake Light Pulser. That sounds like what you are after.

Good luck,

Jason

Thanks Jason,

Found the Madvet item for 59.95... This one flashes a few times and then will not reflash untill 15 seconds.
I also got the insatll instruction off there web site.

I'm going with the one I have on the HUMMER... It can run 3 differt ways and is $39.95. Each time you hit the brake..it will repeat with out waiting for 15 seconds.

The only hassel is it's not plug and play . You have to splice some wires in. No biggy.. Here's the link.

Lol, now there is a prime example of the Corvette tax in action.

I was just thinking to myself that I could probably make one of these up with spare parts from work for less than $20.00.

Thanks for the link, BTW.

Same here when I bought it for the HUMMER. I'm in electronics and could build one with a "555" IC timer chip from Radio shack for about $8.00 in parts. This one gives you the progamable feature. So I figure.. If I can afford a HUMMER I can spend $39.95...L.O.L.

Here's an up date..:

I just called the company SignalDynamics to order the Back Off-XP and found that they have a refurbish section on there web page. I bought one on those units for $20.00 Vs a new one for $39.95. The problem with it was the wires were cut short by the original buyer and it was returned because he couldn't figure out how to wire it.

It still comes witha gauranty. Here's the link to the page. Click on All Refurbished items. They make more then just brake flashers.

Ask for Dan-yell..(don't know how to spell her name) 1-800 785-1814

Make sure you order the -XP Model.
That's the one that is programable.

You Limy...Bas...OH were thru with that stuff.. Thanks Patrick. The last New Vett I had was a Brand new 1986 which I converetd to a Carroll Supercharged motor. Had that vette for 20 years along with the C-2.


Iv've done so many trips in the C-2 that I figured it was time to change up the rolls. The C-6 for long trips and the C-2 for short day trips . Much more fun. and comfort. And..it is very comfy... Fits just like a Leather Glove...

That's a bit more information than I really needed to know. The visuals I'm getting from that are frankly disturbing.
