I came home the other night to see my 98 Explorer in the driveway and the 3rd brake light was flickering on - nonstop, but keys were out of ignition.
It was happening all the time.
Then, my wife noticed that the locks wern't automatically locking when she put it in drive - like it always used to do. Instead, they would lock when she put here right turn signal on a few minutes later.
I'm thinking the worst - bad ground, short, something very bad.
Turns out both lower brake lights were out.
I replaced 2 bulbs for less than 5 bucks in 5 minutes.
Everything is now back to normal.
gotta love the 5 minute 5 dollar fix.
