Title: Brake Lights have gone on holiday.
Post by: REvil71 on 11 January 2009, 10:56:45
Can anyone help. MY brake lights aren't working. Have checked fuses - all ok. Is there a switch on the brake pedal itself or should i be looking for a relay fault. HELP!!!!

Yes, just above the pedal.

Does the mid change from 'brakelight check' or does it stay on permanently - if it clears it may indicate an intermittent fault.

Just incase anyone else has this head scratching problem in the future.
The cause of the failure was the passenger side bulb partially blown causing the total failure of the brake lights. No blown fuse and also no fault on the display. It took removing all bulbs,fittings also fuses and pedal switch then battery out/in to reset this fault. Now everything is ok.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

I HAVE LIGHTS AGAIN.!!!! :D :D :D
