3rd brake light is the light on the Wing or Spoiler of either a z28 or SS
z28 is more a u shape just wider
SS is a small rectangular shape.

yeah so if all of my LED's are working on the spoiler than this isnt an issue?

it kinda looks like a little moisture is inside the light, but all of the leds function

It started as the ABS INOP, BRAKE and ASR OFF lights... i got it read and it was a bad abs module.

replaced that and it was fine, no lights and asr worked and abs.


took a sharp turn and it caused the ASR OFF and ABS INOP lights to come out


i unpluged the battery and it turned the lights off but they came on again when i hit a bump.


i cant get the code ran till next week, so im just seeing what could cause it. and its not all three of the lights, just two.

i'm supposing something is loose since you mentioned it lit up again when you hit the bump.
check the module's connection, then trace the wires see if anything is cut or loose.

i removed and cleaned rear speed sensors. One was loose but still no good in fixing the lights.

I've taken the grounds in the engine bay( the two on the tower, and the one by the radiator) and cleaned them off.

Ive taken the fuses out of the boxes in engine bay and checked them.

anything else to check?
