The Center High Mounted Stop Lamp doesn't light when I depress the brake pedal; I get continuity when I test the socket, so I think it is good, but when I try to test for voltage, I can't get a reading. What else can I check on? Thanks.

Check continuity to ground on the Gray wire. The other wire (White/Tan or White) should power up when brake applied. Do the other stop lamps work ok? It is simply spliced into the circuit for the other lights
