Brake lights won't work, but 3rd light does.

Hey guys,

I've posted some other questions in other threads, but I just realized my brake lights aren't working R or L. My 3rd light does light up when I brake, and my tail lights work (they have power) but when I press the pedal, no brake lights light up except for the 3rd light.

Also, as any had an issues with some of their LEDs in the mirror not lighting up. Sometimes they all light up sometimes it looks like some are burt out. Solutions? Thanks!

Brake pedal switch. $20 part super easy to install.

Just replaced this last weekend.

did this work? I have same issue. The third brake light works, it NOT the sides. I would have thought brake light switch failure would impact the third light too?

Worked like a charm

Tried it last night. As I suspected, in the case where the third brake light is already working (thus getting a signal from the brake switch), this did not solve the problem of the two brake lights on the sides not working.

Did you make sure the bulbs aren't just burnt out? If you did, not trying to sound like a smart ass, just checking.
I'd suspect a fuse, can't find a wiring diagram online but I think the third light is a separate fused circuit than the brake lights, as well as tail lights.
