2004 Santa Fe 2.7l fwd

Brake lights went out on my Santa Fe but the 3rd brake light appears to
work fine.  I've checked all the fuses and bulbs and they're ok.  No
measurable voltage going to the brake light socket.  I have no problem
bringing it to the dealer but want to make sure I haven't missed
anything obvious.

There is a switch on the pedal arm.  Check there.

That was my first thought, but the third brake light works.  Anything
different about that?  

I've seen strange thing happen with bad bulbs that looked good though.
Some lights worked, others did not until an unrelated bulb was
replaced.

There are usually two switches on the pedal,
possibly due to Federal regs.  The 3rd light
works independent of the other two.

Did not know that.  OK, then I'd go back to the switch again.

If you're in the U.S., all three lamps work off the same switch
contact.  Unplug the lamps and check for voltage in the brake lamp
wires at the lamp connectors.

Thank you for the clarification, HT.
Sounds like I was wrong on that one.
