Default How To: wire canopy brake lights

parison -a foolproof way to wire connection for a canopy that is intermittently removed
-i would recomend a 4 prong trailer plug.
wire a would be for the hot side for the 3rd brake light.
wire b would be power for the interior light.
wire c for a decent ground.
wire d explained later
then atach wire b and d together and fuse it for a possible sig lighter plug on the cap to recharge your cell or spotlight etc.. run the wire inside the truck box behind the turn signal light and attach it under the bed lip then the other half can be atached to your cap just unplug and remove cap I know on the 98+ trucks there is a dead ended wire underneath the CJB (central junction box) under the hood. If you remove the box, there will be a green wire with the end shrink tubed. It's power right from the brake switch. If you wire the brake lamp of the canopy into the brake light itself, it will blink when you have the signal on.
