Default strange sound found!

hi all-

just wanted to share this solved mystery sound.

i recently changed out my rear pillar speakers. shortly after installing them, i heard a rolling and click sound from the back of the car EVERY TIME i turned a corner. it drove me nuts. i thought a screw or bolt fell down the pillar, so i removed the pillars again and found nothing.

i finally discovered it was a broken off bulb inside the third brake light. actually, all 3 bulbs were out - all blackish gray - on the inside.

i've never seen a bulb that completely popped apart. it probably mistakenly got wet with windex while washing the back window.

anyway, next time you hear a rolling click sound - check your third brake light.
