No Brake Lights - Problem!!
« on: 30 November 2010, 20:52 »
Hi Guys

Hoping someone can help, Ive lost my brake lights (All 3)

s far as i know the fuses in the fuse box are reversed so check all the fuses at that voltage..

Ok....Just one question, what does the fuse box being reversed mean?

Also I have power at the Brake Light switch so think fuses might be ok?

If the fuse was 2 down and 1 in it would be 2 down and one in from the opposite side if that makes sense ??

If the switch has power than im not sure have you googled it or used search function on here ??

^ Yep - i fitted one a couple of months back for my MOT. There's a good guide over on VW Vortex however don't be put off by the paranoia over breaking the new switch when installing it as the one i got was an even newer revision than the one they mention and its fairly idiot proof to fit!
