Center brake light has bad connection and does not work all the time. I had a different 2006 Civic that had the same problem and have seen others on the road. This is an led light and the light is functional but the connection is bad. Problem occurs when braking at any speed. Ongoing problem.
My Honda Civic ex 2006 2 door coupe has the 3rd brake light off. As I removed the 3rd led brake light and look at the youtube, google and forums, a lot of the Honda Civic ex 2006 has the same issue where the soldering on both sides comes undone due to vibration but poor soldering connection. I have seen all Honda Civics 2006 ex with the same issue on the roads where the 3rd brake light it off. I fixed it by re-soldering, but the wire is so tight and not much room to resolder - eventually the soldering comes loose again. I believe this should be a recall and not a dealer to charge $1000 to replace the led light as many Honda Civics 2006 ex are having the same issue.
Both rear brake lights stop working at the same time. Checked the fuse and bulb, both which are good. It appears the brake lights stop working after I pressed on brakes hard enough to engage abs in an emergency situation. The high brake light mounted on the backlite is working.
