Cadillac CTS Third Brake Light Common DIY Fixes - 2008 to 2013
How to fix and diagnose a non-working third brake light on the Cadillac CTS V6 3.0L or V6 3.6L or V8, including the CTS-V. The third brake light commonly fails. The problem and the fix isn't always what it seems. The LED replacement fixture is costly to replace, so you want to be 100% certain that it has failed before you buy a replacement. A new after market LED replacement is over $200 and the GM part is considerably more. In this video, I cover the most common faults and the fix was surprising cheap and simple DIY that anyone can do. The third brake light is also commonly referred to as a high level brake light, or safety brake lamp, or center high mount stop lamp.
