Brake lights
« on: 09 April 2014, 21:17 »
Just noticed my brake lights have been very intermittent today.

Sometimes working. Sometimes not. Sometimes flickering a little.

When they do come on my offside light and window strip brake lights work but my nearside is off.

Could a blown bulb (presuming its blown) cause my brake light to go mental?

Or would it be a sensor or something on the brake pedal itself and its just a coincidence that the bulb has blown up?

When its pressed most of the time iti works and then sometimes it doesnt work or they flicker and they all do the same thing

Is there one earth point for all 3 brake lights? If so where is it?

or will it be a sensor?
