Have you checked the dimmer switch to make sure that it is properly adjusted and working. There has been a part number posted on here several times for a cheap replacement bulb for the third brake light that can be found at radio shack.

What? My sig is sick!!!! It can't be sick, I just gave it its typhoid, tetanus, & rabies shots last week.
Back to your problem, the dimmer switch is located on the steering column under the dash just above the ignition switch. There is a metal rod that runs down inside of the steering column from the multifunction lever to the dimmer switch. This is what I was referencing in my post.
Well I quess if you say my sig is sick I will have to call the sig doctor in to treat it, I hope that it isn't contagious.
