vti_786 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 hi guys, my rear brake lights (both left, right, and the spoiler light) has stopped working i thought it would be a fuse but couldn't find a brake fuse in the fuse box, found out later that it doesn't have a brake fuse it works with one of the others, i think the indicator one.anyone any sort of idea?a bit searching got me to look at the brake switch but couldn't find one on my mb1, im stumped, surely not all three lights could stop working right?

johngreen537 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The are usually right at teh top of the pedal, the switch is usually pressed in when you are not braking, and unpressed when you are, more of a circuit breaker than real switch!

johngreen537 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Just looked at the manual, there should eb a white and green wire running to the switch too, will be easier to spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annihil8or Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 does your tail lights work when you switch them on if they do it could be your switch if they dont it must be something else because your tail lights and brake are the same bulb let us know how you get on m8 i hope you sort it electrical probs are a right sh*t to diagnose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
