Default Re: Only third brake light working

If this is the issue is there a good way to confirm it?
Do I need to disconnect the airbag in order to replace the turn signal switch?
I've watched some how to videos on other cars and if that's the issue it looks very easy to fix but likely something a mechanic would take me to the cleaners over.

If anyone knows about this problem I'd appreciate any advice. The BAS/ESP light is on but it has been on since I replace the steering dampner years ago.
The BAS/ESP light is a symptom of a failed brake switch or brake solenoid among others I believe.
Maybe your light has been out for years.
