Where is the 3rd brake light connector? - 6SpeedOnline - Porsche Forum and Luxury Car Resource

I'm getting intermittent warnings "Check Brake Light." I assume it is the 3rd brake light although when I check it in the mirror up against a store window, all 3 seem to work. Of course the warning light is off at this point and never seems to come on whilst I'm located in front of a plate glass window where I can check. But, from my research I have gathered that the 3rd brake light connector is a likely culprit. When I do check it though, all of the LEDs do seem to light up. So, I would like to locate the connector and check it for moisture and fit. Thanks for your help.

If you do want to check the 3rd b/light connector then you can fined it on the N/S/R that's the passenger side if in the UK. right at the top of the headliner where the headliner meets the rear screen in the corner pull the headliner down slightly stick your finger or fingers in you cant miss it, but be aware the cable from the 3rd b/light is not wire its a micro strip (like a computer ribbon) and is easy breakable so be extra gentle ...

Hey Rico, I'm in the U.S. so mine is RHD. I'll check up where the headliner meets the rear glass and see if I can locate it. I assume it's a push in type compression fitting?
