Austin, Texas: DPS says you can't get a brake tag if your "Third" Brake Light is not working.....
Brake Tag station attendant said that the light is out.
The 3rd Brake Light is actually working but very dim.
Upon removal of the light, voltage was tested across the Green and Black wires: 12 VDC
Hooked up the LED light array to another 12 VDC source to verify: Same results, a very dimly lit LED array.
All LED's appear to be lighting up, just very dim.
I inspected the printed circuit board and drew a schematic.
Also, having trouble finding this particular circuit in the 1995 NP Service Manual:

I know I may have to replace the lights with an alternative (perhaps 2 or 3 incandescent or something),
but since the LED's all light up (dimly), I figure there may be a chance to the repair circuit, or at least, confirm what is going on (what's failing).
Thank you for any advice.
