Third Brake Light Problem

I have a 2004 GMC Denali XL and the 3rd brake light has not worked for a while. I ordered a new one and installed it...but it doesn't work either. I checked the main fuse and its OK. I'm suspecting its not the light at all. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I CHECK??? Jeff

SOURCE: 1998 gmc sierra brake lights

did u check that they not burn?if not you should Check the wires going into the steering column if you don't have separate turn signal lights and brake lights because if they use the same bulb then the turn signal may be bad. If I remember correctly that particular car doesn't work this way, but I include it just in case.

SOURCE: Brake lights do not work

This is a well documented problem, replace the turn signal/multifunction switch to correct this issue, this very problem happened on my GMC, it is a 99 as well, replaced the switch as instructed by a chevy forum member and it fixed the problem

Remove bulb, make sure it sits tight in the socket. make sure socket is not burnt up (brown or black in color) Check bulb, if the filament inside is loose or discolored, replace as nesessary. Check brake light switch under driver side dash above brake pedal. make sure it is adjusted correctly.

SOURCE: how do you remove the third brake light assembly

You'll have to gently apply some prying pressure to the housing as you turn the screws, it sounds like they've stripped the part they go in...

Brake light switch. If I remember correctly, the third brake light works off a seperate circuit from the other brake lights so part of the switch could be bad.

Rear led brake light broke, replaced but new not working

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY TESTING THE TRAILER PLUG FUSE SOME OF THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHTS WORK OFF THAT FUNCTION. IF THAT DOES WORK TEST THE PLUG FOR POWER BEFORE THE PLUG, IF YOU HAVE POWER THAN IT IS IN THE PLUG, IF YOU DONT THAN CHANCES ARE IT IS IN THE FUSE BOX TEST ALL FUSES UNDER DASH AND UNDER THE HOOD.

Bottom brake lights and hazard lights do not come on. All other lights work including top brake lights. Fuses and bulbs checked.

Check for power out of brake light switch by brake pedal. Of its faulty , the 3rd brake light will still work. Hope this helps
