I recently purchased a 1999 Mazda Protege 4 door sedan. The center inside brake light has gone out, and I can't figure out how to replace it. I can't find an owners manual, so I don't want to break the housing trying to remove it.

Open the trunk, and underneath the shelf, below the rear window, there should be 2 screws or bolts, remove them and the whole unit can be removed from inside, At least this is how most of them are.

Hi Luigi, Re check to ensure your shoes are properly installed Also you need to manually adjust the shoes so when you turn your tire you should hear a slight drag of the shoes on the inner drum. If you have too much play, your cable will be out of limit even if its set to maximum adjustment. If you had previously manually adjusted the shoes then double check to see if that is the proper cables you purchase for the vehicle and make sure it is not binding.
Check the wiring to the alternator for signs of overheated connectors, replace as needed and don't use crimp connectors solder all wiries and shrink tube them to insuklate the solder joints.
It's not a fuse, your park lamps/tail lamps front and rear all get voltage from the same source. In the diagram, top wire is voltage bottom wire is ground. May be a problem with wiring circuit, either voltage or ground. Did you try pushing on the bulb to see if it would lite up, if it does, something wrong with bulb socket.
Did they check the wiring in the ECM wiring loom? The car's computer would have a separate wiring and have a lot of them inside compared to the rest of the car. This happened to me once and had the car ECM rewired because of it.
Have you adjusted the adjuster to bring the shoes close to the drum? Always force the pistons in (the return springs should hold them in) and then adjust to make a tight fit after replacing. When the shoes are on right, there is no way for the piston to come out, as there is only a quarter inch of travel.
