Hopefully I am in the correct forum... My Rear High Mount brake light is working intermittently. when I first hit the brake pedal, all 3 brake lights work. I take off the brake and then hit it again, the main brake lights work but the high mount does not. If I continue to press the brake at a close together rate, the high mount remains off while the main brakes are fine. If I 'rest' the brakes for a little bit, all three lights will come on. So... question is... is the fault in the fuse, wire, switch or is it the high mount light itself? As it works occasionally... consistently when rested... I am thinking it is not a wire issue. I had swapped the fuse ... but did not seem to help. I am not sure how it is connected to the brake pedal... what switch/wires I found connected to a switch on the brake seem fine (messed around trying to see if shorting out .. but seemed to have no effect. I am novice and I do not have any decent docs to tell what I was looking at ... any thoughts/help would be appreciated!
