Spoiler Brake light, and rear side lights.

[Ben.Block]

As above, the 3 lights are now always on, and brake lights not working.

Any ideas?

Checked fuses already.

Thanks in advance.

When I say always on, that's once the ignition is switched on.

All other lights working normally.

So the 2 brake lights don't work at all?

But the third spoiler light is always on, along with the rear sidelights?

Yes.

Sounds like a short of some sort, have you had the lights out to check for moisture/rust etc?

I have had the rear lights out, checked contacts, all seem nice and silver, also had the spoiler off to check for exposed wire and cannot find any.

Have you removed the bulb holders to check for any rust in there?

What happens if you remove the 2 rear sidelight bulbs?

I must have kicked out the contact for the brake peddal or something as I found it hanging, was the last place I looked. I found it hard to tell the difference between the low and high brightness of the bulbs when I was checking them by myself in the bright sun.

I fail, its sorted, many thanks anyway.

I was going to suggest brake pedal switch, but the rear sidelights threw me

Glad it's sorted anyway!
