3rd Brake Light not working
Hey guys, it appears my third brake light (you know, the one above the cab), isn't working when you press on the brake. The cargo lights still work, so I was wondering if that would indicate a broken bulb or an electrical problem. The brake lights on the back are nice and bright.
If it is a broken bulb, I will hope to get in on Buggman's 3rd BL LED conversons, but the error won't be fixed if it is electrical.

Re: 3rd Brake Light not working
well your first step would be to get your lazy ass away from this computer, go outside and undo the TWO screws preventing you from resolving this issue and figuring if the bulb is burnt out.. can ya do that?

Look at me getting myself into a wad about a phantom electrical problem! I swapped out the bulbs from one of the working cargo lights and BAM! I now have a working third brake light!
2004xlmiller, you deserve proper respect, my friend. Your advice fixed my problem! Well, caused me to fix my problem, but great advice nevertheless!

Re: 3rd Brake Light not working
I would have checked the bulb before making a thread.

Yeah, I must not have been thinking with my head. I guess I'm new at this whole common sense thing, I'll work my way up.

Re: 3rd Brake Light not working
LOL @ burned out bulb
Whenever you're ready for a led modded one, let me know... I hope to be healed up in a week or so where I can get back to modding... but I might have a cargo 3rdBL already made up.
