Brake lights

My brake lights have stopped working and they keep on blowing the fuse I have checked the connections they are all fine anybody got any ideas?

A faulty bulb could cause this issue. I've seen it on a couple of occasions over the years.

Check rear lights for water ingress, NS can be a problem remove the light and check the connection for damp or water, if it as water ingress dry out with hair drier, clean contacts then add some Vaseline small smear into the connector and push back together it should solve the problem good luck.

That's the place to start looking. There's a multi-plug behind the RH boot panel where the tow bar harness joins the car harness. You can simply unplug the multi-pug to eliminate the tow bar wiring.

Hi thanks for the reply I just tryed that and I’ve also put a new brake light switch on the brake pedal but it’s still blowing the fuse I’m baffled

Next unplug the ABS modulator multi-plug. The ABS takes a feed from the brake light switch. So could conceivably be the issue. Well worth a check.
