My third brake light, the one mounted inside the rear window is on the fritz
and I would like to know if I can just disassemble the whole thing and still
have the electrical fault system work as normal?
I have had that darn idiot light on the dash for some time and recently at my
annual state inspection the mechanic replaced the bulb only to have it burn
out within weeks later. When I checked the contacts on the bottom of the housing, they are actually broken off shorter than normal. I just don't feel like spending over $50 to replace all the necessary stuff to make this work normal again. Besides, if I had a spoiler on the back, I have read that most driver's disconnect the lamp I am speaking of because they have another 3rd brake lamp built into the spoiler.
