Re: Looking for repair of broken TL ride

Had a problem with non functioning brake lights. It turns out that it was a bad stop light switch. A volkswagon stop light switch solved the problem. However, during the install, it was noticed the brake lights were very dim. A voltage check at the switch of the light green wire, showed only 5 volts. To correct this the mechanic ran a wire from the power supply line with 20 amp fuse to the light green connection at stop light switch. This provided the full 12 volts to the stop lights. I was told he noticed on wiring diagram this is the last link in the torsion level system to get power. I have noticed for some time, something in the car's electrical system was draining my battery. This would happen running or off, torsion level system or clock? Does the running of this 12 volt wire present an issue with the TL system? Do you have any input?
