Title: Which fuse is the brake light fuse please??
Post by: M4VERICK on 06 September 2009, 12:39

Appear to have no brake lights (including the LED one in the middle).  I've searched the forum and it appears to be either the fuse or the brake switch on the pedal.
Im obviously going to try the fuse first but the fuse for the brakes is not listed in the fuse chart on my manual....  any ideas which number it is??
I have a 2001(Y) 1.8 20v GTI

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If it is the pedal switch is this easy to fit yourself??

Cheers Rhyso,

Any chance of a quick guide as to finding it and changing it over?

Mountain bikes i can do, cars, not so well informed!

Cheers

Take the two wires off the brake light switch and touch them together if brake lights come on its a faulty switch and if they do not then it is the fuse or other problem.
