CHMSL 3rd brake light stays on after truck turned off


Recommended Posts

I have a wierd intermittent problem with my 2009 Silverado. The 3rd brake light stays on some times--this is random. I can get it to shut off sometimes by starting up the truck then shutting it off. I have looked at wiring diagrams, and it seems that the CHMSL gets power through a PCB relay under the hood from the BCM via a blue wire X5/5. What I don't understand is that some wiring diagrams show a fuse 49 under the hood that is after the PCB relay and before the left I/P junction block. I do not see any wiring diagrams showing the 15A relay in the left I/P (fuse #12). Can someone help me with the correct wiring diagram? Any idea why the light is staying on? Thanks!

More info..just replaced the stop light switch and that did not fix the problem. However, I can get the light to go out by turning key on (or starting it, either one), and slightly pushing the brake pedal. I hear a clicking sound like a relay is cycling when I push the pedal. The 3rd brake light follows the clicking sound. It almost seems like a pedal adjustment, but I don't see any way to do that. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
