Default 3rd brake light

89...My 3rd brake light was out, so after removing i found all 4 bulbs with burnt spots on them. after replacing with new bulbs at $7.99 each it still did not work. my volt meter showed 11.98 volts to the light rack but it would not light my test light. so i started tracing back to the source of power and found that the brake light switch at the brake pedal was bad. i replaced the brake light switch for $13.00 and NOW IT WORKS. hope this helps someone that may have similar issues.
