LED brake light fuse?

Hi guys, 1st post.

I've had my 03 coupe auto since new, and things are starting to go, here and there.
- the staking CD player has jammed, I read the tread on others having the same problem and did the procedure of disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes etc... to no avail.

But, now the rear "center" LED brake light has gone out (no spoiler- in car), I looked at the fuse panel by foot well, but couldn't find any fuse pointing to that specific item.
Anyone know how this can be fixed?, or do I have to go the expensive way through the dealer?.
Thanks for your help

it's likely just the bulb has blown.

everything will be expensive at the dealership.

1. check fuse box by the e-brake
2. check the fuse box by the battery (i think you have to remove the battery)

After further investigation and getting to talk to a service guy that actually had time, it looks like the LED unit is a sealed one, and the whole thing needs to be replaced (no fuse or bulb).
Looking at $260 CDN for the part + labour.
Looks like I will be holding off on that for now.

Vancouver, but it's not important, I can live without the top/center brake light.
Now I'm just waiting for the CD motor to burn out or miraculously fix itself, so I don't have to listen to it grind for 10 seconds every time I start the car.
