I replaced a light bulb in the 3rd brake light and I'm still getting the Backup Light out message even though it's clearly working. It's also the same exact bulb in the other socket. Any ideas or what I need to do to stop this? Thanks in advance!

As I understand the notifications, a brake light notification could be one of the rear lights or the CHMSL/cargo lights.

Backup light are the white reverse lights mounted in the tail light housings.

Have you verified both of the reverse lights are functioning correctly?

Well, unbelievably it seems one of the actual reverse lights blue right about the same time I replaced the third brake light. That’s why I thought there was something wrong. Replaced the reverse light and now no more message. I appreciate your help. :)

You're most welcome.
Glad you got it sorted out.
