A3 Brake Lights Not Working

ballin · 03-06-2006, 04:32 PM

Any idea's on this one?

Have checked the fuses and they are fine, as are the bulbs.

None of the brake lights work at all, including the centre strip so I would assume maybe brake light switch?

any other possibilities?

Alright mate have exact same problem, and its got me scratching my head but someone told me there is a rely switch but only a garage can check it...but dont quote me on that as mines still sitting outside minus brake lights.

Yep... had two brake light switches replaced so far... although I know for a fact when I first dismantled mine to test with my meter it worked when I put it back in the circuit. So I'm inclined to think that it's some other issue with the electrics. Shouldn't have to get a new switch every MOT!
