Brake lights suddenly stopped working :\
« on: 17 October 2012, 16:02 »
Alrite guys!! Was reversing into the driveway last night and noticed my brake lights weren't working. The bulbs are fine as are the fuse..

Brake light switch?

Is it easy to check?

Any advice is appreciated  :nerd:

Go for the easy first... are the rest of your lights working (rule out the earthing)

Chances are it will be the switch, easy to replace - scrapyard jobbie  :smiley:

I cant see the brake switch being different throughout the manual range? just take yours off and theres always a mk3 in a scrapyard to compare   :smiley:
