Rear Brake light
« on: 12 April 2008, 21:18:20 »
Hi everyone. My Elite estate has only one Brake light working(offside). Have checked cluster and found that there is no power to Brake light terminal. Every other light on nearside works as it should but the high level light isn't working either as it takes its feed from the nearside. Can anyone shed any light.

Sounds like theres an open circuit in the loom somewhere......

Have you check the earthing point on the nearside......iirc theres a bolt with quite a few earthing wires going to it behind the nearside lamp cluster.....but i would have thought the light cluster would only have one earth point.....so its probably ok

I think my fix would be to run a wire from the offside, spliced into the brake light feed and splice it into the feed for the nearside.

I know what you mean.......but it wont be a fuse......and all i can think of is break in the loom......which could be anywhere and be nigh on impossible to find........... :-/

Just to let you know, carried a feed across from offside today as suggested and i now have 2 brakelights. Unfortunately high level light still not working but as the car is a 96 model i suppose the LED's could be gone.

Have checked high level brakelight and it is an LED type. Unfortunately one of the screws is rounded out so i'm having a bit of difficulty getting it out. Doe's anyone have one and how much do you want. Cheers
