3rd brake light fuse location?

[TopCoder]

Just noticed my 3rd brake light wasn’t working. What fuse number is it? 2022 maverick hybrid.

I have a feeling ford screwed something up when they installed the dash cam.

Technically there isn't one; for most of the exterior lighting circuits the BCM just disables that circuit if it detects a possible short/overcurrent condition.

Have you hit the squid launcher button just to check if that triggers it? If not they probably went the fuse tap route, pop the side panel off in the passenger wheel well and have a look if its plugged in properly. And if they decided to run the backup camera out the fuse light you'll want to pop that off and make sure its plugged in properly.

Battery Junction Box fuse 44 (10A) powers only the brake light switch to command the BCM & PCM. If your hybrid drives normally, this is probably not the issue. Actual power to the BCM for that lamp comes from the VBATT1 bus which only has a 125A mega fuse in the high current BJB. So... It appears that Ford uses solid-state current limiting in the BCM instead of actual fuses, so you may have to put a meter on that bulb to verify the filament is good and power is showing up at the socket. Hoping you just have a bad bulb...
