Default Dash Light red bulb

Ok I noticed this before I bought it thinking it's got a light out somewhere, I found that the rear lights on the trunk lid are not coming on, the bulbs look good but I did not check with a meter, if there is no voltage found where is my next place to look?
Also how do you turn on the Foglights? That was the only other thing I noticed as of this moment.

Pull out the headlight switch to turn on the fog lights
It pulls and clicks in 2 positions but either one will work

It could be possible that both bulbs are gone in the license plate lights. If they are, I'd recommend you get replacements that have LED bulbs installed. Here's a link on eBay to a pair I bought: CLICK.

I also attached a copy of the pages in the Owners Manual that talks about the Light Outage Indicator. Any of several lights could be triggering this dash icon.

Yep that worked. I didn't no it worked that way.
The license plate lights were out but it ended up that the third brake light half of it is out. So what bulbs go in there??

If I remember from others, the 3rd brake light is a sealed unit & has to be sent out for repair. Don't remember where you send it, but I'm sure someone with 1st hand knowledge will chime.

FYI - If you want to replace the license plate lights & other auxiliary lights with LED bulbs, here's a link to the ones I ordered & installed:

Sounds like to me that it is a solder joint problem which if I can open the piece up I can take care of that myself. I've owned Shelby Dodges for years and had quite a bit experience with replacing switches in the traveler and resoldering relays on the headlight modules.

People have opened up the center mounted brake lamp assembly but then again some have ruined/destroyed it as well. Good you want to see if you can DIY because it is expensive to send it out (IF you send it out, make SURE you pack it with a lot of packing & insure it because if destroyed by shipping, they are very expensive to replace). I know of one members post where shipping broke the assembly and it was not covered enough. Good luck either way!

Here's a link for the third brake light used. I'm not sure if the coupe and roadster use the same one check before buying

It is better I think to replace the whole licence plate fixtures, and get rid of the lens that will crack if you tighten the screws all the way. This is the fixture part # A 036 545 11 28 they are available on eBay. CLICK
I have them, I just have to fit them.
They can also be used to replace the trunk light with no modifications. CLICK
They were originally found by JHM2K years ago.
