how do you remove the 3rd brake light? i tryed taking the two screws off but i can't find where to undo the wire?

 

Same question also.

1998 Blazer; V-6 automatic, 4WD; Does anybody have any problem with these burning out? presently NONE of them are working, but I don't know how many are IN there. And then, after we get it "open", what are part num of bulbs, snd sources?

thx,

LarryR : )

 

The wiring connection is under the top piece of trim where your rear dome light is also connected. I wouldn't try to replace the LEDS individually but you should buy the whole unit which is about $30 on ebay. i would check the voltage when you brake at the wiring harness, to make sure you even get power to the unit before you do anything else.

 

Here's a link to the 1998 third brake light on E-bay

Couple of comments, and confession;

The car is 16 miles from me, but I do see it quite often, and will see it in a few hours; gotta confess it's a 1996, if that makes any difference; I do NOT think it's an S-10; it's large; she has kept it in "like new" condition in spite of well over 100,000 miles [119,000?].

So I'm imagining I'll see "screws" for it's removal? sure don't wanna get INTO the headliner..........

Suspicious; ALL the LED's are "out" in that 3rd brake light, and the "regular" brake lights DO WORK........... so separate harness gets my attention, IF I CAN FIND IT......

To describe THIS vehicle to you more accurately [WHICH Blazer it is] tell me what key features would help ya'll to know what she has].... Its 4 door......... has two piece "hatch"; top part goes up, lower part goes down.... Is there a chrome "model name" on it somewhere? [besides "Blazer"?]

So is the 1996 3rd Brake Light same as 1998? or did I mislead you?

thx

OK, notice I corrected her car to a 1996?

[edit one; My thinking is so messed up on the model year 1996/1998, I'll look at her registration today and state it CORRECTLY, once and for all]

And as I was shopping around from your suggested "starting point", here, I find that some are mounted onto the "roof", some mounted on the glass; some have screws, some have bolts.

I'll look at it this afternoon, and perhaps a photo.......... where does it explain how to do a photo? or do I need to post it separately, as in photobucket, etc?

thx,
