As far as the lamp out, 3rd gens have a common problem with the taillight strips. Take off the taillights and then remove the 4 screws that hold the strips on. Pull out the bulbs and inspect the base of each bulb for burned or melted spots..... Look in the socket for burn spots on the terminals..

+1 I had the same problem except mine was intermittent (would ding on and off 5-6 times a day)I followed Parts/Service's advice and pulled the strips, one of the taillight bulbs had some black residue on it as well as the the socket in the strip, I scraped all of the stuff off and replaced the bulb and so far so good.
