Brake lights intermittent - switch replaced??
« on: 21 October 2012, 15:12 »
Hi guys, doing a private Job and the brake lights are very intermittent, replaced the switch and all the fuses + bulbs, but sometimes they come in and other times they don't?

Any ideas?

Have you checked the wiring at the back of the brake lights?

I had this and one of the bulb holders was shot, try a spare if you have one (even off yours) and see if its any better
