Open rear hatch and remove the 2 screws holding in taillight assy. Grab taillight firmly and wiggle off. Remove bulb socket and replace bulb. Reassemble in reverse
If the 3rd break light on the rear of cab works then check the panels where the bulbs snap into make sure there is no corrotion if so replace the panels you can get them at any auto parts for $20. to $40 each.
Brake light switch has failed replace it and the lights and cruise should work. When the switch fails it comes apart and the computer thinks the brak is on and the lights won't come on.Costa $20.00 and has a three wire plug on it and is simple to change.
These are directions from Wiki plus my own recent experience. Open the trunk and look in the left or right corner closest to the rear of the car. You will see a 4x4 3/4 (approximate) plastic cover, pull firmly to remove the plastic piece (if covered) from the backside of the taillight. Pay attention to how it comes out too because you will have to match up the ends to put the piece back in correctly. My breaklight was the top lightbulb but you can locate the burned out bulb by pressing your breaklights (I used a stick to wedge the pedal). When you find the bulb that is burned out, twist the bulb by grabbing it at the plastic end (I had a little tab on mine to push in before I turned the bulb) and turn it counter-clockwise then pull it straight out of the plastic housing and replace it with a brand new light bulb.
Hope it goes as smoothly for you as it did for me!!

well there should be 2 screw on the inside of the tail light in question and two push in retainers at the rear outside take the 2 screws out and try a firmly pulling on the light towards yoiu if it doesnot come out right away try to jiggle it around and then try pulling again believe me it will come out after you loosen the retainers/ Please rate my response Thank you very much
The bulb itself comes out by gripping the assembly and "unscrewing" the whole piece. The whole bulb will come out from the rear of the assembly from inside the vehicle. Once you see how it comes out you will see how simple it is. Replace the bulb screw the assembly back in and off you go.
Good Luck
Check all the lights, I know on my 85 the circet is open if more then two bulbs are burnt out. As soon as I changed the two bad bulbs the rest kicked in. Didn't make much since but it worked for me.
