Default 3rd brake light (cab light)
I see that there is a delay or I have to press super hard on brake to have the 3rd brake light come on. Any ideas ?

I thought the lights were all on the same circuit. Are you sure the tail/brake lights are coming on?

But that does make me wonder how you know the other two aren't doing the same thing, I know I can't see those two when I'm inside my truck unless there's something shiny behind me
