BREAKLIGHTS NOT WORKING??
« on: 09 December 2012, 16:12 »
Hi, my breaklights are not working.  I have checked the bulbs and fuse and they are fine.  Any sugestions?

Brake pedal switch?  Poor wiring connection at the rear clusters?

No, clearly what ever you fiddled with is the problem.

Go fiddle with the rear clusters agin! You must have dislodged something. Also check the earth above the drivers side cluster.
