Brake Lights - asmith6091 - 05-02-2014
Hello Everyone,
Hoping you guys can help. Have an X reg 306 HDI and a question about the brake lights.
They began flickering on for a while, i.e like a switch was stuck. However now they have stopped coming on at all.
I have traced the fuse and replaced it accordingly but no joy.
Has anyone had this issue? MOT man said that it may be a brake switch that required replacement? Would anyone be able to say where it's located and where I can get a new one?
Look forwards to your responses
Alex

switch or water in the lights shorting the connections?
RE: Brake Lights - asmith6091 - 05-02-2014
Doesn't appear to be water in the lights.
Bootlight isn't working either.

It's most likely the switch, just above the pedal and is a right bugger to get at, hope you've got small hands lol.
Boot light is probably just a blown bulb.

Brilliant news ......
No unfortunately I have shovel hands. Look forwards to replacing it
Thanks for the advice.

It's a nasty job, you have to do it by feeling around. And the pressed-metal bracket you have to squeeze your hand through has razor-sharp edges. Not kidding, there are blood stains on my steering rack from when I last did it.
If I was doing it again I'd wear some thin protective gloves. Latex isn't enough - it slices through them just as easily as it does your skin!

That's the switch, I took mine put the other day but only as I'm pulling the entire dash out so was easy to get at lol
Couple of people on the 6 forum have said taking out the headlight panel and the drivers heater vent give good access - personally though I'd already dropped the steering column so it was simple
