Got a little 52 plate 106 at the minute, whenever you turn on the headlights, the brake lights stay on constantly? Any ideas, was thinking brake light switch until we worked out it's only when the headlights are on?

Thanks in advance .

It always makes me laugh when you follow one and you can see a line across the middle of the rear light and as it goes around a corner....it moves!

Just got one of my lads to have a look at the back lights, apparently they're dry as a bone? No water inside or around them, although he did sound rather uninterested .

Pull the multiplug off each light and check for corroded pins,normally the earth pin and causes all sorts of weird shit

[hoofing it]

Check to see if some tit has forced put the stop/tail bulbs in the wrong way round.

IIRC isn't the 206 the one with the master cylinder etc on the passenger side with a linkage under the carpet and a brake light switch the passenger can activate/break?

Certainly see plenty with the lights stuck on!


As for the 106 I'd say earth per the other posts. I'd also suggest pushing it off the cliffs at Dover..

What he said ^^^^^^

Almost certainly a retarded bulb changer who put bulbs in wrong (or even wrong bulbs!)
