I have a 99 Newmar, Dutch Star, pusher. Went for a state inspection found I have two brake lights out. One in the center up high is working. I have checked everything at my level. I am hearing there are diodes in the brake light circuit. Found a Freightliner bulletin and sure enough there is a brake light harness kit. Part number 06-28598-00 cost $182.00 plus shipping.
Anyone had this problem?
I was wonder instead of spend that much money on a new and improved kit, could I find out the value and part number of the existing diodes that I expect are blown and replace for a lot less money. Freightliner dealer said no, need to buy the kit. Of course they would, lol. I believe the diodes are located at the base of the steering column?
