Why the third brake light and rear brake lights not working but lights work?

Depending on the vehicle, the brake light is either a separate bulb or a single bulb with two elements in it. A power surge could blow all three bulbs, but a bad brake switch is more likely. Could be a fuse also. The brake swith is at the top of the arm that the brake pedal is on. You can jump across the two wires on the switch and the lights should come on. If they don't, it is most likely a fuse.

How do you get brake light and third light working on a ford explorer?
Depending on the year, there may be one fuse for all three brake lights, or two fuses, one for the highmount brake light and one fuse for the two lower brake lights/tail lights. So, if all three brake lights are out, it could be just one fuse or perhaps the brake light switch which is on the brake pedal metal arm assembly.

Where is the fuse for the third brake light on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe?
Fuse for the "Third" Brake LightAlthough I have no experience with the Chevy Tahoe, the systems are similar for almost all vehicles.The third brake light is tied into the wiring for the other brake lights and is protected by the SAME fuse they are.Thus, there is no separate fuse for the third brake light.Therefore, IF your other brake lights are working, then a failure of the third brake light to activate IS NOT caused by a fuse, but instead an "open circuit" condition in the "dedicated" third brakelight wiring [from where its wire "splits" off of the wiring harness to the other brake lights].This is usually caused by a connector which has become disconnected, or a cut or broken wire.
Who was the third rear brake light named for?
