    Thanks for the speedy and to the point info on replacing the brake light. I also have an Avalanche. ( 2003) And I just wanted to let you know that Turtle Wax restore ( ? ) for your box panels, wheel well covers and over the back cab turned my truck an amazing conditioned dark grey - almost black..like it was when it was new. So if you want to try it out you won't be disappointed.

    My Escalade has the full width light bar. The plastic was sun faded and chipped. I sanded it from 800 to 3000, sprayed it with 2k clear, along with all the lenses up front, the rear custom tail lights, 2 neighbors headlamps as well. All look amazing. One spray can lasts 24 hours so instead of tossing it, I repaired as many lenses as possible.

    Nice man! Gotta love those spray cans, just have to make sure you have a lot of stuff to clear so it doesn’t go to waste 👍🏾 thanks for sharing!

    Thanks this video will help me in the future. There was an other wire going past the light do you recall what it was connected to?

    You should paint all that plastic in the back I painted mine with rustoleum trim and bumper paint like 3 or 4 years ago amd it still looks good I scrubbed the hell out of it with dawn dish soap and brush then scubbed it with a red scotch bright and dawn then finally wiped it with wax and grease remover until the rag wiped clean. It stands out from all the ones that I see with the ashy gray plastic lol.

    Nice video. My 3rd brake light has never worked since I bought my avalanche 2 years ago. Replaced the light today but no power still. Checked the fuse and it's fine. Any ideas?

    Im glad you enjoyed the video! For your issue, I would probably check to make sure you’re getting power at the light itself first. If not and all fuses are good, I’d probably start tracing wiring or try to find a schematic that shows the third brake light wiring start to finish and start checking things. I hope you’re able to find the problem soon!
