Brake Light problem #1

The center high mount brake light, or third brake light, has gone out causing me to be rejected for an inspection sticker. This is an led light mounted on the rear glass, not roof, and the rubber gasket and screws holding the unit in place are defective making it impossible to remove and replace. The replacement unit is approximately $100. 00, if it could be removed. In 30 days, I will be unable to drive my 1996 GMC Jimmy, 4. 3l, on the road legally. I have been told by several parts dealers, mechanic, and auto dealers that this is a common occurrence.

Headlights problem #2

While driving vehicle's headlights blink on and off without warning. Dealer notified. Please provide additional information. Ts.

Turn Signal Switch problem #3

Turn signal arm defective.
