3rd Brake Light issue
My 1996 Volvo 850 recently failed inspection due to a number of issues (as usual). Among them was the failure of my third brake light. Replaced the bulb, tossed it, and put a new one in. Tested it to make sure it worked, and it did... the first time I pressed the pedal. Wouldn't work afterwards. Now, every time I get in the car, I take the assembly apart to see how long I can get the light to work for. It ranges from not functioning at all, to working for several minutes of pressing and depressing the brake pedal.
I messed around with the light to make sure it was in correctly. Checked the wires that I could get to without much trouble (ie. not the ones in the trunk), and they all looked fine. I even tried sticking another replacement bulb in, but I keep getting the same results.
Any suggestions?
