Title: brake lights
Post by: nimrug on May 08, 2009, 05:26:29 PM

high all i have a 1997 facelift model the brake lights dont work not even the one on the top of the door i know the bulbs are ok as i swapped them for the side lights.
i have looked at the fuse for the brake switch [15 amp blue no. 25]and its ok, so is there any other fuses that i could look for or any ideas please.
cheers john,.

Check the brake switch, it's above the pedal.

Not sure if there is a relay or not but another might be the switch which is usually at the very top of the brake pedal assembly somewhere that makes contact as the pedal is depressed
