Have you checked for loose connections up in the roof??

Check bulb maybe it's burnt you never know.

Does your cigarette lighter work? I'd look into that.

I tried but at the risk of sounding helpless. I am not to sure how to take all the plastic apart in the back seat to get the head liner down. I pulled on it slightly and it started to crack.

all bulbs are new

lighter charges my cell phone every day

Yeah man don't get down on yourself, there are plastic clips that hold most of it in... EVERYBODY breaks them when taking it off... Just how these trucks are... If you do decide to get it down, and happen to break a few, look into a plastic welder to repair em

You don't have to pull the rear plastic down to get the headliner out, I re-did my headliner completely without pulling the rear plastic. It will slide out.

I was not aware of this I guess you learn something new everyday

Try ground connections in your 3rd brake light. My truck had the very same problem years ago and it turned out that a wire in the 3rd brake light needed to be grounded.

if you have the new style interior check where the wires pass behind the cupholder, that was my problem, the wires pinched off and grounded out and it was making them blink, could be a possible cause, take your glove box out and follow the wires up the dash make sure they aren't stuck, might not be the problem, but its another thing to check
