Technical Brake light problem!

[Fiat500joe]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to this fantastic forum. Im having a little problem to which I can't solve, so need some help.
I had a warning light pop up with a message stating check rear lights.
Further inspection i found the left rear brake light is not working when braking hence it triggers the warning light.
What's is odd is that I checked the bulb which is not working and it's perfect and not blown. So for hell of it I replaced it just in case. I also examined the fuse and again perfect.
Well I fired up the car and still find the left brake light not working and the warning light pops up again as soon as I touch the brake pedal. All other lights are working fine!

Any ideas....

check the terminals what the bulb contacts are clean and are actually making contact... then check the rear light cluster plug and socket are also clean

I'm guessing another car with worn wiring as it passes into the boot?

The brake light wiring for the n/s cluster shouldn't enter the boot although if the 3rd high level brake light was shorting could this cause the problem?

Thanks for the advice. I've checked the terminals and contacts to the bulb and all is ok. I've also checked and followed the wiring which leads to that particular light and all seems ok with no signs of wear nor any pinches to the wiring. I'm really lost about this fault and really scratching my head over this!!

Any other suggestions guys??

One of the rear brake bulbs had gone and when replaced the high level brake light went off. Was the wiring. Once fixed blew a fuse. Now all lights working properly and fuse replaced.

I was nice and didn't add "Get it sorted pronto before you cause an accident"

Less nice as I didn't add "easy to test with a multimeter"

My 2012 500 pop's third brake light just went out. Replaced bulbs and still not working. Will check fuse when I return home.
Reading above posts has me worried that it may be wiring. Ugh
