Thread: 3rd brake light don't work

  1. #1

    3rd brake light don't work

    Not sure what's wrong. It worked last I recall it worked 2 weeks ago but I noticed it's out now. I removed te cover all the bulbs seem ok. Can't get it off the cab to check the connections however.

    All other lights work just fine and no fuses are out

    Corrosion on the contacts from a leaky seal? My second thought would be the connections but I doubt the movement of the wire during driving would do anything to the wire jacket.

    No corrosion on the sockets I can see at all. Strange it had 4 bulbs and they are all bad?

    Could be. I always replace all of mine when one goes out just because they usually go out together.

    The T100 has 4 bulbs? One in each tail light plus two in the 3rd brake light? Are they all out?

    If they are all out maybe it's the switch at the pedal. Paddlenbike had an ABS light on when his 3rd brake light bulb went out.

    Sorry I should say 3, hit wrong key on my mobile when I posted. There are 3 lights in the third brake light, same type of bulb the running lights in front take.

    I replaced all 3 bulbs, friggin thing lights up. I guess i didnt notice till the last one burnt out. I mean the only time it come son is when you hit the brake-it doesnt act as a running light

    Yes but if they are wired in parallel one going out would kill the rest of them....or is it series?

    You got it backwards I think. Series each one operates on own parallel each together I think.

    Im lousy at electrical lol. Ether way it's fixed

    Series. If one goes out in series, it breaks the connection to the rest of them.

    I always get that mixed up lol. I'm glad it's fixed too though. Last time my brake light went out I found out when a police officer told me it was out
