Help, 3rd Brake Light!

[V35ADC]

Hey, Guys.

This is my first post .

My v35 3rd brake light is not working, any one know how to fix or where can I buy the spoiler withe brake light.

I had this problem too, does it work intermittently by any chance? Or does not work at all?

If it doesnt work at all, it may simply be disconnected during compliance.

Slide it back towards you, lift it up, fish around for the cable and re-connect.

It tends to be dicky, the cable, so it will probably be about 80%

my car came with spoiler (sedan) with the brake light on that. I also had the brake light inside the rear windscreen which was disconnected. when i took off my spoiler i had to reconnect the plug for the inside one to work.

dunno if that info helps.

interesting, i have both my spoiler and my 3rd on...

AU Ford Falcons(or derivative) have this problem: the light bulb attachment melts. Maybe the same occurred in yours, but I assume you have checked...

thank you guys, the 3rd brake light is not work at all. (After I connet the cable)

I think I need to buy a new LED light to fix,but there are looks like hard to take it out????

anyone try to take it out before??????Pls give me some idea.

Or any one know where can buy the new brake light or spolier?

(BTW: can drive the car without 3rd brake light on the road?)

this week has been a rough week for me, ive got the similar story with the 3rd light as sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt and other times its not as bright.

while driving on a 60km rd on tuesday in morning still kinda dark a huge chunk of brick was left right in the middle of the rd by construction builders, lowered v35 going 60km/hr over it, broke something underneath and i need to get it repaired as its hanging loose on the bottom.

Ouch! I hope there wasn't too much damage...

On another note...can anyone enlighten me why in the world compliance would need to disconnect 3rd brake lights???? Isn't a 3rd brake light compulsory nowadays? I can understand d/c the xenons...but the 3rd brake light...wtf???

they dont disconect it. in the paperwork I have seen it's part of the requirement.
