3rd Brake light
« on: December 05, 2010, 01:25:11 PM »
2000 Tracker, 2dr, 4x4.......

Just noticed that when I turn the ignition key to the on position, the 3rd brake light is lit as if I am depressing the brake pedal. Looking for suggestions to solve the problem.

Wife has already suggested removing the bulb..............

Could it be part of a bulb check system. or DRL system that pops on with the key?

Does the 3rd brake light stay on after the start? or just during start?
