As a heads up, I feel the need to offer some different advice. At work, we see this problem from time to time. And believe it or not, what we actually see more often then not, is a faulty brake switch. Now, I know, you're thinking if the switch was bad, why wouldn't all the brake lights not work right? Well, I don't have an answer to that. But, I'm just saying, this is what we see more often.

My other reason is, the new 3rd brake light is at least $100 I think? And the brake light switch is only like $10 or $15? So even if that doesn't fix it, you're not too much money out.

I don't suppose you have a friend or co worker, etc, that you could borrow parts from their car to test? As both are very easy parts to swap with basically no tools. Just my

BTW, we had a tech that once replaced the 3rd brake light, and the problem was fixed...for two weeks before it came back. After replacing the switch, the car never came back for that problem.

 

Replaced my switch, solved the problem. You might notice that the regular brake lights don't really brighten up at night when you hit the brakes too.

 

Just changed the switch and everything now working fine! $13.00! Service department said I needed light @ $130++. Thanks AZers!!

 

How did u go about replacing the third brake light switch? did you order the switch from an Acura dealer ship?

 

dude.. they gave you the answer on a silver platter.. You want us to walk you to the dealer and tell you to crawl up under the kick panel too? How did you make it this far?

 

lol my bad. I replaced the brake light switch after opening my eyes and reading a little. Thanks for the advice! Brake lights are back to normal operation. BTW I stopped by the Acura dealership and they wanted nearly $18 for the switch. Stopped by autozone. $13 bux.

 

cool. I had to do this too

 

hey guys..kinda new to this forum..could you tell me where this switch is located..maybe a picture..maybe a brief descrpition as to how to find it..? and was there anything specific other than year make and model that you had to tell the autozone guy.. thank you for the help.

 

ok..just did some more research..found out how to do it..this place is great.. thanks to all for helping

 

8 bucks at auto zone..just got it
