Resolved 3rd brake light not working

[coloradotuner]

As the title states, the 3rd brake light is not working. It doesn't light up or anything. Everything else works,(Tails, Turn signals, Hazards, headlights etc.)

Not sure what the problem is? Maybe a bunk "Bulb housing" or I am just using the wrong bulb?

Any suggestions on trouble shooting this ? Much appreciated

Could very well be the wrong bulb or a bad bulb. If it worked previously you don't have the wrong bulb.

Could be a brake switch going bad. Sometimes they don't entirely fail outright. Did you just purchase the vehicle?

I remember having trouble with mine and it pretty much was the bulb socket/wiring that just had a bad connection. I'd try having the pedal pressed while you wiggle the wires, push the bulb in more ect...just gotta find the "sweet spot". I ended up getting it fixed, but deleted the whole third brake light housing since it rattled and was annoying haha!

If you end up needing a replacement 3rd taillight pm me as I have mine sitting right here on a shelf.

Thanks guys, now time to make it stop rattling with the help of some precariously placed double sided tape!! Gotta love these cars
