I have a 2001 Ford Ranger xlt 3.0L v6 U with 60k on it.
I have the infamous 3rd brake light leaking issue.
I have read all the forum postings yet still have an issue.
I removed the oem light because it leaks. The seal is bad.
I have installed 3 non oem brake lights and all leak. Water works its way from the top of the seal to the bottom and leaks from the bottom corners.
I have used butyl tape around the light and on the opening on the truck so water wouldn't leak in, and it still leaks.
In the forums there was a guy named MOOT that apparently had a neoprene seal on ebay. I cant find it on ebay as there are several seals but none list neoprene.
Does anyone have a good fix?
Does anyone have pictures how they applied the butyl tape?
Does anyone have links to the butyl tape that was used successfully?
If you used a new seal from ebay or Amazon can you post the link if they work?
Thanks
