Brake light issue
« on: 01 November 2014, 19:08:38 »

Hi guys I just wondered if anyone has experience of the off side side light coming on when the brake is pushed. Mine is currently doing so,both brake lights work and a brake light warning appears on the dash. Cheers

Before getting in too deep, make sure the bulbs are of the correct type and fitted correctly.

check the bulb if its a 2 filament type one of the filaments may have broken and dropped onto the other filament causing a cross of power, had this symptom years ago and had me puzzled for ages
