I still haven't been able to track down the problem with my third brake light (high mount, center in the spoiler.) I have a Foxwell NT510 scanner, and it shows no issues with the LCM or brake lights. No fault codes. Brake switch controller checks out ok, too. When I ran the live tests through the scanner, it tells me the third brake light is activated, even though it's not lighting up. Just to make sure, I did a live test on all the other lights, and they all work correctly. And to double check, I disconnected the third brake light from it's connector in the spoiler and hooked it up directly to a different power source, and the LED's came on. So I know it's not an issue with the LED's or the unit itself. If there is a break in the wires somewhere coming from the LCM, wouldn't I be getting a fault code on the scanner? Just wondering what my next step should be.
