Electrical Third brake light pulsar proper polarity?

Third brake light pulsar proper polarity?
I received my third brake light pulsar, but when I looked it over it clearly shows which connector is plus and minus (+ -) on the circuit board but on the blue plastic housing mounted right on top on the + symbol looks like somebody used a black marker indicating negative. Extremely confused and I'm sure you can see why, anybody know what's what?
Appreciated.

I noticed the same thing when I did the install. Had to use the exstention wires to add length needed to put the plastric trim back in place as well. yellow and brown wire from car......Brown possitive, yellow negative, according to the black marker indicated on the wire seat of the circuit. I left my on the 3 second pulse, didn't want people behind me having potential seizures whilst in traffic! Hope this helps..

I understood what you meant and I noticed the same with mine. As mentioned I used the brown as the + and the yellow wire the -, this,only after I had wired it the opposite way. It does not short circuit if wired incorrectly, a very easy install, just follow the marker marked wire connector as negative. Works perfectly.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm posting on it for the benefit of those that use the search function to find information on various topics. The information in this thread is incorrect. The "black mark" stated earlier in the thread is actually made by a red marker on a blue item attached to the circuit board. Granted, because the red marker is used on a blue background it does look kind of black, but if you look closely it is in fact red indicating that it is the positive "+" side. Also, it is stated in a previous post that the brown wire is "+", that is also incorrect. I used an electrical tester and confirmed that it is in fact the yellow wire that is "+" and is the one that should go into the pulsar unit where the red mark is (also marked as positive if you look closely at the circuit board itself). Once again, brown wire=negative or ground "-" , yellow wire=positive"+". Hope this helps someone with their installation of this part. It is a nice little unit and so far has functioned exactly as advertised for me.
