3rd brake light
My 3rd light isnt working all the time, once in a while it will show me that the 3rd light is not working then i drive a little more and it goes on then again off then again on i think it might be a connection somewhere i just dont know whether its the wires or the bulb holder. i nkow its not the bulb i had already changed it

Make sure you use the right bulb. I was in a situation where the only bulb available was an RV 12 volt bulb with the same base. Damn light monitor knew the difference even though the light worked
Other than that, just check your connections. If you used the right bulb (1156) then you can only check your connections.

If you rework the contacts just a teensy bit for a snug grip on the bulb, it should be fine.

3rd brake light
great just what i was thinking of doing i tried once by putting in foil but that didnt work cuz as i found out few days later my whole brake system was out due to burned out fuse. Thnx ill try that out cuz the side contact actually is broken on mine so i hope foil will fix ne one know how much the socket costs?
