HELP!!!! 3rd Brake light stays on
The outside two bulbs on the 3rd brake light stay on. I noticed it this afternoon when I got home. The only thing I have done recently is put in an aftermarket cd player. I am going outside now to unhook the whole thing, I pulled the fuse for brake lights, and they stayed on.
I pushed the brake pedal and the middle two bulbs come on also then go off, but the outside two stay on.
I also can't find my meter at the moment to test anything
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, the dome light comes on first, then the cargo light. Don't get all defensive. If you look at your original post, you clearly did not state that it was the cargo lights that were on. You believed they were the brake lights, so much so that you even pulled the fuse for the brake lights.
Does the dome light go off with the switch? If so, I hesitate to blame the switch, but it's possible. The only other thing is a short somewhere with another always-on power supply wire. Try removing the switch. If after disconnecting it the light is off, then that would eliminate a short and a new switch is in order.
Nice sig, BTW.

I would remove fuses one by one until the light goes off. That would at least indicate what circuit is supplying power to the light that shouldn't be and possibly give you an idea of where to look. The wiring diagrams in the Chilton manual I have suck, but if I come up with something I'll let you know.

Thanks will hopefully check tonight. My wife has school so I have to watch the kids so we will see if I can. Plus I have an interview tomorrow so I need to prepare for that.
Edit: At least I ruled out 1 fuse already
