No brake lights

[Mr Plums]

Can anyone help please, ive changed the sidelights today, then ive checked all other lights and noticed that all three brake lights dont work, they were sort of playing up as i was testing them, sometimes working sometimes not, then sticking on and then they stopped completely.

When i press the brake pedal i can hear a rely clicking coming from the offside rear of the car.

My abs light has popped up too so im unsure if this is related, although my brakes are low.

Anyone know which fuses to check etc, cheers.

Brake pedal switch maybe?

 

[Mr Plums]

Your not keeping your foot on the brake are you?

Brake pedal switch maybe?

When that fails all 3 lights stay on instead.

 

[Mr Plums]

No mate its all in, its weird, the brake lights are on when im not pressing the pedal and go off when i press it lol, new switch? The bot that springs in and out?

How am i going to drive to work in 15 mins?

Like the whole thing has reversed? That's weird as f**k.
Pull the wiring out and then the lights will be on all the time. Better that than none at all imo. Flash the rear fog to get folks attention that you're stopping.

I used the zafira mate, its the switch the springy bit is fucked mate, i braked hard earlier today when someone was doing 90 round a roundabout thats when the abs light popped up so im guessing thats when the switch boke, the abs light has gone off now. Ill get a switch tmw if possible.

My guess is Andy probably re wired the lights into the stereo when he was fitting the boost gauge.
