Aaarrrgghhhhh brake pedal switch failed
« on: 22 May 2011, 11:22 »

Just had the engine workshop flash up on dash with the flashing glow plug symbol, after googling turns out my brake pedal switch has failed, confirmed by the fact i have no brake lights, it's sunday and gsf and the stealers are closed, I need to use my car tonight so anyone know where i can get one ?

Thanks

doubt you'll get one on a sunday.
when mine went it worked intermittently for about 6 months before it failed completely. when it did I just used the rear fog lamps as my brake lights (got twin fog lamps)
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Thanks Steve, mine failed altogether this morning, have unplugged it ready to get one in the morning  :smiley:

Good idea about using the fog lights, just a matter of remembering to turn them on as well as braking :laugh:
