3rd brake light doesn't work......................
The CHMSL doesn't work in my 91,all the bulbs checkout fine.I checked the manual and it states the switch has a separate function for the 3rd brake light.Anybody have this problem.I thought Id ask before I go fishing for the switch.Thanks.

I changed one of mine out, by laying upside down on my back, on the driver's seat.
Takes about 3 minutes, 2 of those are getting into position

If your tail lights work but the CHMSL does not, then it more than likely is that switch. It has two throws on it and sits down at the brake pedal.

The switch is a common problem. There's one for the regular brakes and one for the high mounted brake light. Pretty goofy. It's easy to change, though does require some flexibility.

As stated I would try to adjust the placement of the switch first before replaceing it. But be careful the switch also affects the ability to turn the Cruise Control off and on. Take a look lying on your back and see if all the switches above the clutch and brake pedal look centered. Its possible on has vibrated or has been knocked askeew. The boys are right however chances are the switch is bad. Good luck GC
