Third brake light only. hey guys,
I know this doesn't really have anything to do with stereo or electronics but i figured i would try it out. i have a 2000 pontiac trans am and i'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my brake lights. The third brake light is the only one that works when the brakes are applied. The running lights on the 2 tail lamps work but the brake lights dont. Bulbs and fuses are good. If anybody has any idea please let me know. thanks

Have you switched out for new bulbs? (They have two filaments in them. You could have one filament burned out in both sides.)
If you've tried that, you could have a short on that brake filament circuit. Sometimes people have issues when one socket is repaired poorly, which shorts out everything across the board.
