OK this is not a Landy, but its all your fault for encouraging me to fix things myself :p

Daughters Civic had two brake lights out, only the centre window one worked. So I tried to put a bulb in one side, it didn't work, probably because it was not in correctly. I discovered this when I put it back in the light and it fell out :eek:

First thing is how the hell do I get the bulb out, it was really hard to reach the back of the light to pull the connector out, no way to reach inside for the bulb.

If I manage to do this and its not the bulbs what else could it be. I thought fuse but then the centre one would not work.

Thanks :D
 
Any ideas where to take it then :confused:

Only Halfords or the tyre places likely to be open over the holiday

From the videos it looks as if you gotta take the cluster out, and the amount of people i see driving about with no or only 1 break light is amazing

Ah thanks, she is going out without it tomorrow so I might have a go then. Might be a job for my new electic testing meter :D
 
Probably a silly question as top light is working, are they all on same fuse ? Have you checked that fuse hasn't gone , cant see why they would be on different circuits but you never know

Thank you, I thought of the fuse but like you thought they would all be on the same one. Dont actually know where the fuses are on it, but I could find out and try it.

Probably need to buy one of the workshop manuals for it, although it did have a book that came with it. Will see if I can find it.
