The bulb burns out. Take the 2 screws out and pry the cover off. I forget the size bulb needed, but dam near every used pick up I buy that light needs replaced. Most dont bother, but if mine dosent work it bothers the snot out of me.

The manual is compressed with Winrar. Download it free from HERE and unzip it.

Open it and look on page 2788 of 8410 and you will find what you need. But have you take a volt meter or test light and tested the plug for voltage when someone presses the brake? I would do that first and THEN get into the manual

No power to the bulb it runs from the brake switch to the brake lite
Looks like I will be looking for a broken wire soon
