How do i remove the third brake light bulb from the housing in the car in a 06 hyundai sonato..
According to the service manual, you must remove the cloth package tray that the third brake light assembly is attached to. First unclip the electrical connector located directly underneath in the trunk. Then remove the five philips screws securing the tray to the rear body by folding down the rear seatbacks. The package tray must then be pried off-not easy.
Just found this on WIKI...seems much easier (must replace mine as well)...1.) unplug the connector in the trunk.
2.) remove the 2
gold-colored screws from inside the trunk. They can be seen from the
trunk. 1 is thru the larger square opening where the wire connects to
the 3rd brake light. The 2nd is on the right side thru a small
(screwdriver width) hole covered by a piece of foam tape stuff.
3.) after removing the 2 screws, go inside the cabin and the brake light housing pops right up.
4.) disconnect the bulb from the housing while inside the cabin.
5.) in the trunk remove the wire and bulb. (it's about 5 inches long. the wire from the connector to the bulb socket)
6.) reverse steps to install.
