332.52Always wondered about this....FABSIX::E_PHILLIPSSat Mar 08 1997 14:268
    Old note here, but I have a question....
    
    If the third brake light became mandatory on (?) 1986, howizzit that
    Chrysler managed to keep them off their Caravan/Voyager models until
    (guess?) 1991?  Just curious....

It might be because of what the government classifies as "trucks" and what
they classify as "cars".  Trucks were not required to have them.  I seem
to remember they changed the classification to include minivans as cars
around 1991.

    	The 3rd brake light was optional in '86 and mandatory in '87 for
    	passenger cars.
    
    	Apparently a minivan wasn't considered a passenger car at that
    	time, like Jim said.
    
332.55Part of the wire may be there.SNAX::PIERPONTTue Mar 11 1997 12:157
    [Circa 90-91 ] Some of the vans that were
    marketed in the US and Canada had the wiring harness installed for
    canadian operation. The owners manual showed it under the options
    section based on regional equipment. 
    
    A full wiring diagram may show some of the wire is all ready in place.
