Beside the period you've forgot, you shouldn't use spaces in class/script names. You won't be able to access them as a class since classnames can't include spaces.

You appear to be missing a period between the GetComponent call and the "enabled = true".

GetComponent("veahcle script 3").enabled = true;

(Note that there are safer ways to write this, but if the component with the given name is guaranteed to exist then it should work. If you spell it differently here then there will be no component found, and you'll get a runtime error.)
