Brake Light Out

[Snake_Eyes]

The EVIC in my '14 is reporting that my passenger brake light is out, but it really isn't. I have the BAP so it's the LED tails. Has anyone seen this before?

As an aside, the passenger mirror turn signal LEDs are flickering and when lit are very, very, very dim, I actually thought that they weren't working at all until I cupped them and put my eye right up to them. Could this be related to the brake light?

I've read where you will get a brake light out message when it is the center high mounted brake lamp causing the issue.

I have a '14 and experienced the same issues as Snake Eyes twice. Visually check which lamp is out. Both times the EVIC told me it was on the left (driver's side) and both times it was the high mounted center brake lamp.

Thanks for the tip guys, I'll check the center brake lamp tomorrow...I sure hope that's what the problem is. I also got a replacement turn signal lamp for the mirror to see if that's the problem...it was 50 bucks! And they changed the design so it no longer matches the original so I had to buy a driver side as well. Friggin Chrysler.

Just a heads up...the brake lamp in the tails is a different lamp than the one in the high mount per the manual. Unfortunately when the EVIC told me it was a tail, I bought a tail. Then another trip to get the correct lamp.

Just to follow up, it was the CHML. Thanks again!
