Default Precedent tail lights don’t come on! New mad Jax ultimate wire harness!!

My 2013 with 2017 harness precedent didn’t have a lights wiring harness. Installed a new mad Jax (02-01 ultimate harness with lighted dash switch that came in the kit. Don’t have turn signals, brake pedal switch or horn. I see that the kit comes with wires for all the above. The pedal wires have 3 wires that are just loose. The 2 horn wires are also Loose and the harness plug is also loose. So the only wires connected are both tail lights into the harness and the two plugs into the headlight on the harness. I turn on the switch and get the headlights to turn on but nothing out back. I went ahead and went to the local dealer and he gave me a jumper plug that plugs in the plug under the dash into the mad Jax harness. It has yellow, white and red jumped. Tried it and nothing. Headlights still work fine. I went ahead and jumped the red and yellow which one was a female and the other male leaving the black alone and the taillights came one!!! But the switch is on off position...when I turn it on the headlights come on but the taillights turn off...I’m so confused???

Do you have a voltage converter in there somewhere? (48 volt to 12 volt)

Not yet, just trying to make the lights work using two batts. As soon as they come on I will purchase the reducer. Already a mess with wires, couldn’t imagine installing the reducer while figuring out the taillights...but yes, I know I need it and will get one.

If you can get to the connections on the tail lights measure the voltage. If you have 12v's and the lights are still off it would mean that you have reversed polarity to the lights.

LED’s have a positive And ground unlike the standard incandescent bulb. If the voltage measures twelve volts at the light harness connection at the brake lights, then the wires need to be reversed at the harness connection.

Mad Jax does some strange things electronically. I am not a fan personally of their products because of issues like this.

Hmm, ok I will take them off from the back and check it out. That would be a mystery solved. Thanks, will advise when I do.
