Issue with 3rd Brake Light

[Willys2Gladiator]

Sorry, side question. When did they start using a third brake light that flashes 3 times when hitting the brake. I have a 2020 and it doesn't flash.
And Washington only requires two brake lights so the 3 rd is just extra.

Those are usually done with a Tazer, or programmed to do that, or a flasher is spliced in.

Usually all states require it, if it was OE... you could just be getting away without one because of no safety inspection.

Yeah, might be required due to being standard equipment. The state requirements are written stating 2 brake lights. My JT still sports the 3rd light. My Wrangler however doesn't.

Wondering if anyone else has issues with the third Brake Light. I was going to take a pic of my tailgate and i had someone push the brake petal and the tailgate light did not light up. Any way i can troubleshoot this issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Of course, I am never in the back of the truck bc usually driving it. Thank you

Yes. At 16k miles last year. Dealer replaced under warranty. Expensive part to fix

This is super common. 99.99% it’s light assembly

The CHMSL is federally-required equipment. Just because you don’t have a state inspection doesn’t mean you can’t get cited for it being faulty.
And mine quit after about a year: the lamp assembly was bad.

Not gonna happen in AZ. We only need one tail light. Nobody cares.

Same in Oklahoma, no inspections, no smog. Even 1/3 of the trailers on the road don't have working lights, cops don't even seem to care.

Quite common to see farm trucks blowing blue smoke, single working headlight pulling an overloaded trailer with no safety chains and missing trailer lights 75 mph down the interstate.....

It must have changed. I remember failing OK inspection when I was at Ft. Sill LOL but that was 30 years ago

You are correct, state inspection ended in 1999 I believe. I don't believe trailer tags/registration has ever really been a thing here though.

Yes here's a link https://parts.allmoparparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-center-high-mounted-stop-lamp-68338388ac

Just waiting on the 3rd light delete to come out!!!

My third brake light was replaced under warranty last month. I didn't realize it was out until I failed Texas state inspection.

Thanks. Ordered one this morning. Is there any warranty on this part?

Yes, All Mopar parts we sell carry a 2 year warranty honored at every dealer across the U.S.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Benny, are all JT center brake lights LEDs? Do non-Led optioned JTs have a different center brake light?

My non-LED Sport has the LED CHMSL.
