paul.h Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Next check is probably the brake pedal switch and if this is correctly located and working then the wiring/connectors/corrosion on the bulb holders. Did you check to see if there is a good earth at the lights and if there is a 12 volt supply at the bulbs when the brake pedal is held down and the engine is running ? Quote
gerard Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 yes put a new switch in it there still no brake lights, bulds and connecters are good, i dont know wat fuse is for the brake lights Quote
coastline taxis Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 you need a power probe or multi meter to go any further. check you have power going to the brake switch and power comming out when pressed. if no power to either then youl have to pull each fuse out one at a time and test for continuity ( a visual look is no good anymore) till you find one thats blown. And speaking from experience itl be the last fuse you check no matter where you start Quote
gerard Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 ive tryed multi meter on the brake light switch at the pedal there is power, there is power on the brake light board, gggrrrr i need help Quote
paul.h Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 So if you have 12 volts at the brake light board which I assume you mean the bulb holder in the rear light, then you need to check if the bulb holder is corroded giving a poor bulb connection and then if there is an earth for the bulb holder. Also check you are looking at the correct bulbs in the light - on one of our Citroens, the stop lights were not the combined 5/21 watt bulbs but were separate 21 watt bulbs with the 5/21 being tail light and fog light.

gerard Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 yes its the bulb holder there power off the both sides Quote
paul.h Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Your posts 5 and 7 seem to contradict each other. Post 5 says there is power at the bulb holders but post 7 says power is off at the bulb holders. Quote
gerard Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 yes power at bulb holers, so what the problem Quote
paul.h Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Check with a resistance meter connected between the bulb holder outside and the car body and see if there is continuity - ie no resistance (0 ohms) to show the earth connection from the bulb holder is good. If it gives a high resistance than you need to check the wiring from the bulb holder to the car body earth point to see where it is broken and that the earth point is not rusty and the electrical connectors pins are good/clean.

gerard Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 got it sorted use were all wrong,,, thanks Quote
Johndouglas Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 got it sorted use were all wrong,,, thanks Are you going to tell us what the fault was? Quote
paul.h Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It would be nice to know what the fault was, otherwise we have wasted our time trying to help and the topic may as well be deleted. Quote
