3rd Brake Light

[rnikolich9]

Hey everyone. Got told by my dad today that my 3rd brake light was not illuminating. I have a 2013..not sure why it would be going already. Anyways.. is there a fuse I should check for this? Or just take it to the dealership since it is still under warranty?

seems a bit early for the bulb to go out but it does happen. might as well give the dealer a call if you're wanting it done, otherwise pickup a replacement and it it yourself.

Pretty sure that all thirds are LED.

Yea I know its LED, which is why I'm thinking that it shouldn't have gone out already. The car has only 27k miles on it. Does anyone know if there is a fuse for the 3rd brake light? If not I'm gona try to see if any wiring is loose. If that doesn't work I'll take it to the dealer and see if its under warranty.

Most low-power lights don't have fuses anymore. The controllers have current-limits. F33 is the only fuse related and it's for the whole BCM.

Good to know, thanks Tony. I'll just check the wiring and then take it to the dealer if need-be.
