Brake Lights?

[nabz]

Hi Guys,

New to the forum but lots of useful post and thought I'd see if I could get any help before I turn to the stealers..

Anyways Fiesta 2010 Mk7, neither brake light is working. I've tried changing the bulbs but has made no difference, but the funny thing is the 3rd (top) brake light works fine.

I changed fuse 2 in the glovebox also with no change.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

Well the stop light switch must be working If the high level stop light is on so either the bulbs are wrong or faulty or incorrectly fitted the are stop and tail bulbs 12volt 5w/21w bulbs and u can fit the the wrong way round so side lights are really bright and brake lights dime they only other fault is wiring to the lamps but unlikely since both sides don't work!

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for that mate, pretty sure it's not the bulbs as they both stopped working at the same time and nothing has ever been changed, and side lights i'd say are on ok not bright or anything.

Wiring seems fine also, is there a better fuse box diagram of both the engine fuse box and the glove compartment one??

There's one in the handbook! But they aren't brilliant!!
