Just one of the big plastic block connectors with about 8 wires going in and out. Lives near the rear cross member

Well, it's done. Went back painstakingly through the loom from each side. Bypassed the junction box where things stopped working and pulled that apart. What looked fine actually had a broken pin. It could in theory make contact and did if you...

Still no further on. Thinking of running a decent earth and live feed from the fuse to a test bulb holder and working my way through each junction until I find the problem. It has been suggested that a dodgy junction may allow enough live feed to...

Well, no further on. Haven't checked the header mentioned for a number of reasons. a) no idea where or what it is. b)Doesn't feature on my Haines manual wiring diagram. Vehicle is 02 not 99 as in the diagram above. c) Still have power into the...

Been through it with a mate who does these things. Switch good and tested. Bulbs good, tested and proved. Fuse the same. Earth good as proved by functioning tail lights. Right through the bulb holders all tests perfectly but stick a bulb in and...

Taken that out as I haven't got any brake lights at all

Well that seems to be the issue. Tell me. If I bridge across the two wires heading for the switch, by passing it , will the brake light come on if all is well? Would be a handy way of keeping the circuit "live" rather than jamming a jack handle...

Hi level brake light has the usual damaged connectors in the heated screen. . Didn't seem to fail the MOT May just bypass that one day with a bit of twin core speaker wire. No earth behind the inner covers. Just realised that my tail lights...

Any bright ideas of where to go next? Brake lights were working when I last looked , maybe a month ago. Not any more. Was checking the trailer board and no brake lights. Checked that a known good vehicle. All good. So back to the 110. Bulbs...
