ABS/ESC activated brake light device

An apparatus comprising:

• a first connector configured to plug into an ABS pump motor circuit on a fuse panel of a vehicle;
• a second connector configured to plug into a brake light circuit on the fuse panel of the vehicle;
• an induction coil detector connected to the first connector;
• a first magnetic reed switch connected to the induction coil detector;
• a second magnetic reed switch configured to be positioned next to an ignition latching relay on the fuse panel of the vehicle;
• a timer circuit connected to the first magnetic reed switch and the second magnetic reed switch that disables a brake light signal generation circuit for a time period after the second magnetic reed switch detects an ignition signal;
• a control circuit connected to the first magnetic reed switch and the timer circuit, wherein the control circuit sends one or more control signals to the brake light generation circuit whenever the first magnetic reed switch detects an antilock brake system and/or electronic stability control (ABS/ESC) signal;
• the brake light signal generation circuit connected to the control circuit that causes a brake lights of the vehicle to flash whenever the one or more control signals are received from the control circuit and the brake light signal generation circuit is not disabled;
• and
• a power supply connected to the timer circuit, the control circuit and the brake light signal generation circuit.

A method for flashing a brake lights of a vehicle comprising the steps of:

• providing an apparatus comprising a first connector configured to plug into an antilock brake system pump motor circuit on a fuse panel of a vehicle, a second connector configured to plug into a brake light circuit on the fuse panel of the vehicle, an antilock brake system and/or electronic stability control (ABS/ESC) signal detection circuit connected to the first connector, an ignition signal detection circuit configured to be positioned next to an ignition latching relay on the fuse panel of the vehicle, a control circuit connected to ignition detection circuit and the ABS/ESC signal detection circuit, a brake light signal generation circuit connected to the control circuit and the second connector, and a power supply connected to the control circuit and the brake light signal generation circuit;
• sending one or more control signals to the brake light generation circuit using the control circuit whenever the ignition signal detection circuit detects and ignition signal and the ABS/ESC signal detection circuit detects an ABS/ESC signal;
• and
• causing the brake lights of the vehicle to flash using the brake light signal generation circuit whenever the one or more control signals are received from the control circuit.
