[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 640713, member: 62"] Its been raining here the last few days and pretty much as soon as the truck got wet the "Hill Descent Control Fault" alert blew up on the dash (in my 2010 SCab Raptor), and the brake lights seemed to stop working. With the headlights off they'd work fine, but with the headlights on they'd stick on high regardless of brake pedal position. Also, I noticed once when you get out of the truck and close the door, the lights went batshit crazy flicking between dim and bright. FWIW this is the first time in 4 years I've had this problem. I know the third brake light is an issue on these early Raptors in general, but when I pulled it off mine I didn't find any moisture behind it. However, there is definitely moisture in the housing and the left and middle LEDs are blown (only the right lights up). Too early to tell but it looks like everything has returned to normal with the third tail light left unplugged and sitting on the shelf. If I go buy a new third tail light, how confident should I be that the issue is solved? Is that a red herring? Should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
