Brake lights not working
« on: 01 April 2016, 21:40 »
Brake light switch replaced on the actual pedal but still no lights at rear. Is there a clear relay to replace as well?  Golf 1.4

Open your boot and on the top right hand corner yoh will see a corrugated rubber sleeve.

Pull that off the boot and peel it back, you may have some sheered wires behind it, extremely common.
