Rear brake light warning

[Jeremy Fry]

So my dash lit up that my right brake light was out. Assuming that it was I picked up some new bulbs and replaced them. The bulb didn't actually look burnt out and the filament was solid but since I was already there I replaced it. About a week later I got the same warning, what I don't know is if it's a new warning or if I needed to clear the old one. Anyone else have an issue with this in the past?

Did you check your 3rd (center high mounted) light? In can cause a light out code. The warning resets on its own when problem is gone.

I second what lpennock said, check the third brake light. Twice I had the brake light out message and both times it turned out to be the third brake light.

Yep, Check the third light.

Mine gave me the right brake light out warning on Thursday, yet I can see when backing into the garage that the light is not out. The warning only comes on at engine start, then goes away. I will go out and check the 3rd light.

Yup, was the 3rd light.

That's why I love this place. That was it, top brake light is out.

Yup, most folks forget that one...
