Default problems with interior lights!

Hi all,
my 2002 blazer has a problem, the interior lights (all) and the 3rd brakelight won't work suddenly?
It did worked well, but suddenly it quits! fuses are fine!
I guess some cable work, don't know where to start searching!
Hope someone has ideas to help me out!
Thanks, nice holidays.

Default Fuse!!!

The salesman assured me that the mechanic had checked the fuses, I checked them myselve again, guess what,1 fuse was missing, so now we have interrior lights!!
Now only the brake light is not worky???

I remember reading somewhere that there is a fuse or relay somewhere for the 3rd brake light, I am not sure where though.

Pretty sure there is a CHMSL (center high mount stop light) fuse under the hood.

If there is something I have learned about dealers is that you never can trust what they say. I like my blazer now but when I first got it it was problem after problem in the first month. glad you fixed your lights tho.

Yes, that's the one!! unfortunally this one is good!
I saw that they peeled off the insulation of the yellow wire, so the problem exists longer!
If you pull at that cable, maybe a kind of connector will show up? or should the cargo interrior light mount be removed? I did not tried it yet!

if you take off the interior panel with the rear dome light off, there is a connector where the 3rd brake light hooks up to
