Need to find a temporary wire reroute for parking brakes.
I got into a little fender bender running into a guard rail going maybe 5mph (thank god for huge brakes) when someone tried to cut me off.
Anyways, while doing this, the wires got mangled for the corner lights which caused the hot wire to touch the ground. This caused a stretch throughout the whole wire to burn and blow the fuse for the parking light. Something like this will take forever for me to fix, so I need a temporary fix for now, although I might need a little help figuring out what wire I should use.
My stopping brake lights work, although the parking brake doesn't. (mainly because of the blown fuse, but replacing the fuse will just blow instantly.) So I plan on finding another wire to reroute for the parking brake lights to stay constantly on so I can drive at nights.
Because of the blown fuse, the license light doesn't work either, so that's not an option. First I thought maybe the trunk light might work, but I'm guessing the latch has to be open in order for the light to come on. I need information on which wire would work best with the right power so I don't blow my bulbs anytime soon.
Thanks.

The parking brake engages the rear tail lights? Don't think so...........
What are you trying ro accomplish? Let others know behind you that you are drifiting?
Oh I understand now.......... the running parking lights. Don't use them. There is never an application for them unless your at a Drive inn theatre.

I guess this isn't the place to find any help. I'll just figure some way myself.
