Default Fuse for roadster 3rd brake light

The owners manual doesn’t have a fuse diagram, what I have been able to find online is vague as to labelling the 3rd brake light.

Can anyone help? I’m trouble shooting a non-working third brake light and I can’t seem to detect any voltage at the wiring harness clip.

Cheers

The signal for the third brake like or "high-mounted stop lamp" (terminology from the FSM) is the same source as the rear brake lights - the stop lamp switch.





If you're getting voltage at the rear brake lights, but nothing at the harness for the third brake light, then there must be some break somewhere along the way.

Found the issue last night. Playing with the wire & connection while the daughter stood on the brakes produced a glowing red 3rd brake light. My initial thought is the connector clip to the light - something obviously is loose.
