A couple of days ago started getting error message that 3rd break light does not work. Then realized that it goes away when the spoiler is up.
I hate to drive around with the spoiler up all the time to have the light work.
Looked around in this forum and found a nice post by one of our colleagues here.
Followed his instructions to dismantle the structure in order to expose the "cable loom". Unfortunately unlike his mine does not show an obvious "crink".
So I would hate to splice and reattach blindly.
I found the part MSRP about 80 USD. However it seems to be a little tricky to get to the "sources" and completely do it and fix it.
Anyone with experience. Did you have this happen?
Did you fix it yourself? Did you take it to an indy or dealer?
How much labor time did they charge if so?

BTW I have on 09 C2S, 25k on it.

Thanks

 

No experience with the dealer cost.
The 3rd light operates only when spoiler is down.
When spoiler goes up, a micro switch is triggered and it switches from the 3rd fixed light to the 3rd light in the spoiler.
You just may have a bad switch in the spoiler.

 

Thanks, very useful information.
I will try to do some more detective work
