2019 Ford Expedition 3rd Brake Light question

[patriottuba2022]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum. I'm a do it yourself guy and try to save money any way I can. This morning I attempted to take my car in to get an inspection sticker, thanks WV. It failed due to a faulty 3rd brake light. They wanted to charge approx 370 to repair.

With that being said, could I get a part number for this piece, as well as a general teardown procedure to remove/ replace the part?

Any help given is greatly appreciated. I will continue to update this thread with any info I come up with that will help the next guy.

Thank you,
James

First question is are you still under 3/36 or do you have an extended warranty? Should be covered.

 

[patriottuba2022]

No warranty coverage. 59,000 on the odometer.

I'm still looking for info that can help me get access to remove/replace the 3rd Brake Light. I pulled some trim panels but it doesn't seem clear at the moment.
If anyone has done anything to the rear hatch or that area and have the pictures with pieces exposed, please share them.

Thank you
James

3rd LED Brake Light Removal???

My 2018 Ford Expedition had condensation in the 3rd brake light and wasn't working. I bought a new one to replace it. I can't figure out how to remove the old one. No Google search or YouTube search shows anyone explaining how to do this. Looks like it just snaps in but I am afraid to break...

Do you see three access holes to stick a socket in there and unfasten the 3 retaining screws ?

Unfortunately I have not.
I may have to take the entire lift gate apart from the truck but won't do so until I have no more options.
I have looked at all these pictures/and other posts. One mentions it but the links are bad. The entire website is down. I was hoping for some guidance from someone who has attempted this repair.

I haven't personally ordered, but seller has good ratings.

It seems unlikely that entire panel is bad though? Have you checked the fuses?

 

[patriottuba2022]

My guess is the casing is cracked, and moisture is showing on the inside. This may have corroded the connections.. I suppose this is a common issue typically covered by 3/36000 warranty.
I will check the fuses tomorrow however.

Also looked at this listing earlier and its a little suspicious that it shows 2 ford explorers lol!

Well, we know it's a pirated copy by the price so whoever printed it probably just made a generic label.

Be careful with the ebay ones - I ordered one for my 3rd gen (2017) and the wire colors and pinouts are wrong. The connectors are right but where it depicts the wires and their colors in the connectors is wrong. Just saying for if you were needing these for wiring help.
And I am not saying this seller specifically just the FSM's on ebay

The one I have from eBay is a Ford product. If you received something else, I would have filed a complaint.

I had this happened to me that the 3rd brake light of my 2018 Expedition had water in it and the Ford dealer told me the extended warranty doesn't cover the replacement and they wanted $570 to replace it.

Greetings:

I know this is an older thread but I recently performed this simple repair. The rear spoiler is attached to the hatch with a half-dozen or so fasteners. Once unbolted, I was able to lay the spoiler assembly up on top of the roof. The HMSL assembly in turn bolts to the spoiler. Working on a 3-step ladder made it hard to see the fasteners, and it was amazingly easy to drop them and watch them disappear into a gap in the hatch. Have a magnetic retriever handy, trust me. There's a single electrical connector to unplug and re-plug. I bought my LED assembly from a Ford parts store - also about $160 - and it took me a bit more than an hour. Not sure what's going to stop the replacement from leaking too?
