I got an aftermarket LED 3rd brake light for my 98 Silverado. I threw the old original away as it looked like garbage. Now after my truck sits for a minute or so the 3rd brake light randomly comes on. It will stay on until I open a door, at which point it goes out. But it will again come back on if it sits for a bit. People are constantly coming up to me telling me my lights are on.
I thought at first it might be due to a switch in the door, but it does this with both doors. I guess both switches could be bad, but it's odd this just started when I got the LED brake light. Also the LED brake light doesn't have a good seal and water can get through the edges. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I need to get a different one or silicone this one up. Lots of variables here really, but if anyone else has had a similar experience maybe they can narrow it down a bit for me.
Thanks!
