Third Brake Light Problem
Hello all,
So my third brake light (High-Mount) is out and I can't seem to locate my manual for where the Third brake light fuse is. Popped off cover and nothing 'jumps' out at me :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
2008 CT/CS. Thanks!
EDIT: To add, I looked at my service manual...still can't locate the third-brake light fuse :/

The only failure on the 2006 convertible i had was the third brakelamp bulb. Little hair element in there was hanging loose. New bulb set me back a lot more than I expected, but it was worth it.

the center light on my 06 and the wifes 07 have never worked that I know of...the 09 does, but its got 3 miles on it. anyway, must be one cheap bulb...Ive followed dozens of S197s over the last few years, only saw 2 with a working center brakelight...personally think it looks better without it, but might get you a ticket too...knock on wood, not yet for me

I scheduled an appointment with Napa Ford. I have also had an ongoing issue with the Tire Pressure Sensor (and Monitor) fault. Ford never fixes it as they can't duplicate the error.
Anyways, going in to get this looked at on Friday. Thanks for the replies.
I agree, if it's under warranty, I'll take it in for anything, even a lightbulb!

Wrap Up:
Ford Service Dept: "We are sorry however we were unable to see the brake light being inoperable. It works fine. The only thing that we (we = more than one technician) can think of is when you installed the "Mustang" sticker over your Third brake light it may have made the light go out."
WTF, are you serious? El oh El. I almost cried in the dealership when I heard him say that.
On my other error with the Tire Pressure Sensor...
Ford Service Dept.: "We are sorry, we are going to have to charge labor to look at this because it is not covered under your manufacturers' warranty nor your dealer warranty."
Me: "Fair enough, I'll just remove the sensor and receiver and will that null my warranty?"
Ford Service Dept.: (after a few minutes of banging away on the PC there...) "Yes. It will."
My kicking and screaming fell on deaf ears...I'll remove it next time I rotate tires.
