Third tail light in back window problem ,I noticed a smell of plastic , thought it was turning because I turned on the heat ( due to weather changing). I went into the vehicle to get something and the smell was very strong . I checked the back light ( window taillight) ,it was completely melting the plastic light tail , removed the light.
Brake light suddenly turns on when vehicle is in motion. This is especially more frequencly occuring when weather is cold (40 f below). This has been the case since Nov. 1 2003.
