It's not 3rd break light specific. It's a tail light indicator, one of ur bulbs must be out. Look lsely though cuz I just had this and everything looked fine upon initial inspection. But when comparing it with the other side I could see that one was out..

Hmm odd, I'll have to take a double look at if once I'm not dead tired as well. If anyone can stand correct let me know.

I have a new coolant level sensor on order to replace mine. I took it out to see if the slow goopy leak was from the tank or the sensor. The tank appears to be fine, but the sensor had a long crack toward the bottom (and the float fell apart in my hand; wouldn't want chunks of that clogging the hoses) that looks like it's allowing coolant to work its way up the wires and seep out the openings at the top.

While waiting for the new sensor to arrive, I figured I should disconnect the old one to make sure I get the low coolant warning light, otherwise there's not much point swapping it out when I could just cap it. I didn't get the expected warning light... I found a few explanations that the warning light won't come on when the sensor is disconnected, but the above quote is the only one I found saying that it has to be grounded. I'm just confused what that means, exactly. The warning light won't come on unless grounded or the harness side of the sensor needs to be grounded to trip the warning light? I couldn't find anything covering it in the service manual.
