The brake light fuse and relay for the 2005 Cadillac CTS is located under the rear seat on the driver side. The fuse and relay is marked BAS fuse and BAS relay. See full article on Google Plus - "CTS Cadillac Brake Light Not Working - 3rd Brake Light OK." These guys don't use traditional fuse names because they want you to bring the car in for service.

Can you rewire Brake lights on 2004 Cadillac CTS bypassing connection to the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module)?

The third brake light on the trunk gets moisture in it and causes a short. On mine I smelled it burning. Their fuse is located underneath the backseat. But you have to disconnect the third brake light or replace it by taking the whole license plate bezel off just to replace the third brake light off that bezel. Or you can cut the thick yellow wire that goes in the trunk lid that plugs into the bezel which wire's the license plate lights in the third brake light if you cut the yellow thick wire third one to the end it will cut power off that brake light
