Well not so shocking which is somewhat the point. The center brake light has stopped functioning and this is the diagnostic so far:
-disconnected the plug under the halo trim (the was a PIA to do...have to remove the drivers side interior halo trim piece to get to plug) and sent 12v to light unit and it lit up...so the center light itself is functioning
-place a DC volt meter on the wire leading to light fixture plug...stepped on brakes and no current

Conclusion... (1) open line in wiring from ???? to light (2) wire is connected somewhere to work with rear brake lights and connector is loose or (3) ???

Anyone know where the wiring for the center brake light goes to in the dash?
Assume there is not separate fuse for center brake light (could not see such in the fuse panel on the passenger side dash end)??? Any thoughts on what or where else to trouble shoot??

Of course would totally appreciate any assistance
