Problem with new C6
Folks, I just picked up my car today, and did not notice this issue until it got dark. My third brake light glows all the time. When you hit the brake it lights up like normal, but otherwise, you can see it is somewhat powered all the time. I found that if I pull fuse 56, the ecm/TCM/Easy Key MOdule, then the light goes out.
Does anyone know what it might be?
Thanks

I hate taking my car to the dealer but that's what you might have to do.
Congratulations on the new C6 .. Things will work out fine, that's why we have a warranty.
If you’re not happy I think you have the 60 day return deal, if you’re in that time line?

I got you bro...
I had the same thing, except when I pulled the fuse the light did NOT go out.
Went to dealer and they found the connector/wiring had corroded and fused together with something (I dont recall what) supplying constant low current voltage.
Warranty took care of it.

If you're going to DIY, it might be a good time for your first mod..............Painted spoiler/3rd brake light housing and/or one using LED's.
Congrats on the new car.

Just think what the dealer could have screwed up for such a simple fix.
