the brake lights go through the turn sig switch the third brake light sig comes diretly from the brake light switch that is why your third brake light works but the rear lights dont replace the turn sig swicth(mutifunction switch)

Look you have power to the socket and a ground so the brake light switch is doing it's job--try a socket replacement!!

I wanted to let you know that the problem ended up being a broken lamp out module. The dealer charged me $215 to repair. Being I got the repairs done there they waived the $79 diagnostic fee....or did theyf???

The dealer also says I need a new tensioner..... gonna charge $226 for that.

Well thank both of you for your help!!! :D

The tensioner is a common failure and costs about $50.00 you can do it your self., pretty easy after you remove the belt.
