Does anyone know if the third brake light is on a separate circuit than the tail light brake lights on a Mercedes Benz W210 E-Class? Both tail lights are out but the third brake light works. The car has no BAS faults or other symptoms of a bad brake light switch, not to mention it was replaced by the Mercedes dealer before I bought the car.

The tail light bulb holders and tail lights themselves have been cleaned and greased with dielectric grease due to known oxidation/connectivity issues on the W210 platform.

I haven't had the chance to hook up a meter to find out what's going on... will do that tonight. Silly German car electronics make me bang my head against the wall at times!

Our dog loves to hide rawhide bones. She will eat half, then enter a hiding frenzy which is always fun to watch. After finding a suitable location and dropping the bone (usually in a corner, under some pillows, behind the TV or under the shoe rack), the dog takes a step back and repeatedly drags the top of her snout across the floor while snorting. The dog was an older shelter pet with no backstory and a lot of lovable quirks; a pet DNA test indicated 50% Australian Koolie (which is accurate to her build and facial features) 25% Akita, and 25% generic mongrel (the test was only like fifty bucks so what the heck?)
