They can ruin your interior and leave musty odors I have been dealing with the dreaded 3rd brake light leak myself The third brake light is known to leak, find out how to prevent this from happening.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS: Meet The 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4x4
What happens is the water leaks through the seal of the light, then makes it's way into the cab sheet metal, and runs to both corners due to the way the metal slopes
If you have water dripping from the top corners of the rear of the cab it is probably the 3rd brake light seal leaking.
I really feel like they should. So the rear glass frame had 2 cracks and that was leaking and replaced Headliner stained and light was leaking When i removed it, the gasket was toast
Cleaned off all the old glue (used a dish sponge with the rough end and a cloth, kept both wet with xylene bit found that acetone worked best. In this video we show you how to fix the ram 1500 3rd brake light that leaks water We do this by describing the disassembly, applying silicone to the existing seal, and reassembling it. I replaced the brake light bulb and bed lights with led bulbs, then used silicone to seal it
I have a feeling the regular bulb generates a lot of heat and dries/warps the seal causing the leak.
I'm in the houston/baytown area for work, and this week we been having quite the rain, last night especially I never thought about checking mine because i never seen water or anything dripping after a rain, but today since we were rained out i ran across a thread about the third brake light. I remember my '11, '13 and '15 all had the famous water leak from the 3rd brake light Do i need to seal the 3rd brake light in my new '17 still?
2017 third brake light hey guys, i just got a 2017 big horn and was planning to change out the lights in the third brake light to leds I've heard mixed things so far. Actually joined up to see what everyone had to say about the issues they are facing with their ram
